There is disclosed a safety apparatus for a motor driven window that comprises an elongated sensing mechanism that extends substantially across the width of a window aperture and along that side of the window aperture toward which a closing, motor driven window moves. Such elongated sensing mechanism is comprised, at least in part, of a piezoelectric cable for generating electrical pulses upon an obstruction extending across the path of the closing window being pushed against the sensing mechanism by the closing window. Coupled to the motor driven window is an electric motor that is connected so as to be responsive to the electrical pulses generated by the piezoelectric cable for automatically reversing the direction of rotation of the electric motor.
