LiFePo are considerably safer in use than LiPo (which isn't actually a battery chemistry, but a construction) and straight LiPos are not really suited to automotive use as I've said before - far too much risk of a thermal runaway, just from aging as much as any in use abuse.
They're only good for a certain number of cycles as well....
I have a 3 cell LiPo I used for my RC radio and it's beginning to swell after intermittent use over a period of years - it still balance charges fine so I will continue to use it, but as soon as it swells good and proper it'll be dunked in salt water and binned
