An automobile windshield is much more than just a piece of glass
that protects a driver from the wind; it is much more than
something that keeps the bugs away. A windshield, actually, is the
key piece of safety equipment installed on any automobile. Believe
it or not, it is actually the strength of the automobile windshield
that allows some of the other restraining systems in today's cars
to function properly. The advancements in making a piece of glass
for a modern windshield are important to the automobile both in
terms of body strength and passenger safety.
