Seriously? Glass could never be molded into the complex shapes that todays cars have and can be molded to better focus light. Not only that but polycarbonate is way more impact resistant (10 times) than glass. Why do you think most aircraft have "plastic" windows and canopies or why are saferty googles and faceshields made from this material? Todays cars are faster, lighter, safer, more reliable and powerful. This is like comparing an incandescent light bulb from 1950 to a modern led bulb.My hate goes towards plastic headlights. They should be glass and glass only.
