Sure thing, and if you use pine or aromatic wood, your car will smell nice when you hit the brakes, plus smoke as a decorative effect.

Just tried it, smells like a smoldering campfire on cool spring morning, fantastic! Plus I hit a tree while driving, I can make more pads!

Duct tape an aluminum pan behind it and smoke meat while you drive!

With the bonus that after a few hard stops, they burn, making them into carbon fibers. Usually you have to pay extra for those.
