Looky here at about 1:14 or so looks like a jet car almost.

I would want that option myself in high speed vehicle.
It's not that simple. Again, most of those aircraft were performing in air shows, and were traveling at very low speed, not 600 / 700+ MPH. The pilots also had a relatively long time to make the decision to eject, then do it. Most of the supersonic ejection tests were performed with dummies, not pilots.
The one's that weren't were usually capsule type systems, like the one's used in the XB-70, supersonic aircraft. And when those aircraft initiated those type of high speed ejections, they were at very high altitude. Not at or near ground level.
You obviously did not see the jets on the ground at high speed in the video. They where not flying at the time of ejection, its not that simple? Well that is why the engineers figured it out, they made very simple. ????
