The only problem with the arresting cable is that the cable has to attach to a hook somewhere behind the car...which means that the car has to run over it before it catches...with a plane it's less of a problem because it hangs off the tail end while it's coming down.

I guess that what I would want to demand is an extra set of brakes which function on the rear wheels rather than those teensy fronts. More traction = more stopping power if good enough brakes are supplied.
