This extremely robust car passenger cabin would be (relatively) weakly held to the framework of the car. In an accident powerful explosives and solid rocket propulsion would serve to reduce transfer of momentum and continue as much as possible in a straight line, reducing the abruptness of momentum changes.
The advanced version may act as an ejection seat, lifting the cabin over obstacles, but only if there's nothing overhead and there's enough clearance.

This makes me think of the phrase "back to nature" and a movie of a cloud chamber. They meet, then it's just straight lines all the way. |

There's the unfortunate case where the other car (that you're about
crash into) also has this system. So you get a massive explosion to
go with the 2-car impact, which may provide enough momentum to
not only stop you, but send you backwards (which is a Bad Thing). |
