Yes, CDs are  succeptable  to shock  (hitting  the front of my CD player
with my fist makes it skip).  However, my player seems to have very good
immunity to low frequency  vibrations.  For example, I can put the CD on
a wobbly table and shake the hell out it and it tracks just fine.

Therefore, with a proper mechanical suspension system to absorb the high
frequency vibrations it shouldn't be that difficult to make a CD work in
a car.
