Just a minor quibble:  Most American car manufacturers stopped using safety
glass  in everything but windshields years ago.  The stuff in side and rear
windows these days is _tempered_ glass, which is hard to break  but  crazes
and shatters when it's broken.

The safety glass still used in windshields is a three layer laminate that's
intended to be shatteproof (and succeeds pretty well).
