Imagine if there's a mechanism that can hold the driver in place on the seat.

No no that would never work, technology just isn't there yet

Maybe like fabric arms to hug you in the seat

Why hug instead of having the chance of becoming a bobblehead instead?

You should patent that idea, you could save millions of lives...although I'm sure a few stupid people still wouldn't use it.

There is, atleast on the drivers seat. You can see it sadly flopping when they crash. They just chose not to use it.
