Problems like these are easy to optimize out. For instance, you can put in fuses that disconnect the traction power or ignition in the event of a collision. If you’re worried about the computer getting scrambled, put in two CPU’s and compare the output - if they are different by a significant amount, then stop driving. Most of the prototypes I’ve seen also have a manual e-stop in the cabin.
As for getting rid of glass: safety glass is actually pretty darned safe. It pulverizes into shards in a collision. And, there are a lot of people, myself included, who will not be able to ride down the highway without a view out the front - otherwise, it will be barf-bag city.
