Air-bag equipped, no-neck female version already here (with the added benefit of completely filling up the cockpit space- minimizes being tossed around):


Kind of soft though- might cut easily on shards of glass and plastic (not that it would hurt much). I submit that turtle-like armor is needed (with more coverage for the extremities than this):

Also no protruding noses, or teeth to break. Fathead Graham would still end up with expensive dental reconstructive work.

The excessive mass of Graham's head will not do him any favors in a crash, what with mass x velocity and all. He's going to get in more crashes anyway with that tunnel vision from not being able to look around. People use but a fraction of their brains anyway so why not jettison the extra?


...and/or reinforce the neck:


As an added bonus, power steering could go away for a slight improvement in fuel economy. The now superfluous air bags could be deleted too, saving Takata and the auto manufacturers lots of grief while depriving lawyers of revenue (a win-win).
