Our driveshafts are made of a carbon fiber-plastic composite. It's pretty strong stuff.
The major issue with cf panels or parts is that if they break, as far as I know, they are pretty much trashed, but they are light and very, very strong. As far as detecting defects -- meaning if there's subtle structural damage its hard to detect and therefore a safety issue? At this point, I think the main issue is cost -- the raw materials and the manufacturing process isn't cheap, relative to aluminum. Then again, Ford was going to use hemp fiber for car panels at one point in time allegedly, so who knows...
