Why are car windows & windshields glass and not a kind of plastic?
In: 40
Glass doesn’t scratch as easy (from wipers or sand from the road) as plastic, it doesn’t break down in sunlight, and it doesn’t warp from high temps, wind, or temperature changes.
Your windshield is actually formed from multiple layers to make it very difficult to break. The other windows are made of tempered glass, which shatters into little beads rather than long shards when it breaks
