frustratedpilotOkay, I'm sure all my readers know what happened Sunday afternoon in Las Vegas.
My thought: Driver protection in Indy and F1 cars. Even if a full safety cage is inpracticable for such machines, why not a simple safety bar that would fold down over the driver from the engine's air intake area and latch at the windshield? The lock/unlock mechanism would be the steering wheel. (The steering wheels in these cars are quick-removeable anyway and it would take little to make this technology work in this manner.)
