What are the types of glass they use in cars?

Side and rear uses "tempered" glass. Tempered glass is used because it breaks into small pieces and does not create long, sharp shards which can stab you. Windshields are made of "Laminated" glass, meaning that two pieces are glued together using a clear, sticky material. Laminated glass is used to protect you as well. The pieces are stuck together so that the big pieces don't get loose and fly into your face. The advantage of laminated glass is that it will hold together enough to make it so that you can still see out, so that you can hopefully have a little better chance of controlling your car.
