Why carbon fiber it's always made with epoxi resin together ? Why not other resin or composite?
Aptera car shell had good resistance to a hammer impact test, made in a silica-based fabric composite. It deformed a little and returned to original shape, dissipating energy.

They could create a new carbon fiber, with other composite together, to behave with some of the energy dissipating approach.
