GROVE, England: A Formula One racing team is employing technology that helps racing drivers survive high speed crashes to create a new device that keeps newborn babies safe during emergency transportation. 

The device, known as the Babypod 20, is made from carbon fibre – the same material used in Formula One cars' bodywork. It can withstand a 20 G-force impact and provides newborns with a secure, temperature-controlled environment for ambulance transportation.
