why do cars have glass windshields as opposed to fiber glass or some other see through material?

I got a crack in my windshield about a month ago and all I can think about is how technologically advanced some parts of cars are and with that being said I can’t imagine glass is the safest/ only thing we can use for our windshield.

Fiberglass is not transparent. As it stands, glass remains one of the strongest transparent materials we have available. Pretty much anything else you could put there that’s transparent would scratch far too easily and be impossible to see through within a matter of weeks, not to mention damage from UV exposure.
