Windshields have been made out of glass layers with an internal polymer (hence laminated glass) since Henry Ford started using it in 1919. Laminated glass prevents/minimizes the chance of windshields shattering into thousands of shards of glass being sent into the passenger compartment.
Laminated glass may be used in side and rear windows but at least one window should always be made out of tempered glass to ensure it is easily breakable with a sharp object to allow occupants to escape. Everyone should check the label of their side glass in particular to find out which ones are tempered glass.
Everyone should have a Safety Hammer/Tool in their console particularly if they have tempered glass windows that can be broken. Laminated side windows cannot be broken with these tools. https://www.amazon.ca/SINSEN-Safety-Hammer-Emergency-Breaker/dp/B072B6LGZG
