Heisenberg vs. Lorentz

According to SR, as one's speed increases without
limit, the length contracts without limit, as
seen by an outside observer.

Now I wonder, what happens if the length
compresses to the atomic scale? Do quantum
effects emerge, does the object become 'wave-like',
as seen by the observer? Presumably, the high
speed traveler does not notice anything amiss.

The situation reminds me of the retort to the
Schrodinger's cat paradox: the cat knows whether
he is alive or not!
