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.

Modern windshield (like 20 years and newer) glass is part of the structural integrity of the vehicle…plexiglass sure as fuck wouldn’t do.

Also, it’s 2 or more layers of tempered glass which when broken shatters in a million pieces instead of huge shards.

Yet can still be seen through.
