1. A method for deploying a safety system of a vehicle, the method comprising:
receiving sensor data from a sensor associated with the vehicle traversing an environment;
calculating, based at least in part on the sensor data, a trajectory of the vehicle;
detecting an object in the environment;
generating a predicted object path of the object in the environment;
determining, based at least in part on the trajectory of the vehicle and the predicted object path, that the vehicle is incapable of avoiding a predicted impact with the object;
determining, based at least in part on the trajectory of the vehicle and the predicted object path, a predicted point of impact between the object and the vehicle, the predicted point of impact associated with a first safety system;
identifying a preferred point of impact, the preferred point of impact associated with a second safety system; and
maneuvering the vehicle based at least in part on the preferred point of impact.
