Re: Has this forum maxed out?
The concept of an unbreakable windshield will never fly.. The windshield is designed as a part of the structural integrity of the vehicle in the event of a roll over etc.. But, it is also designed via lamination to have "flex" appeal to keep from breaking the occupants necks, faces etc in the event of a major accident.. True air bags have helped to keep this from happening but I can't see an unbreakable windshield ever being used..

Re: Has this forum maxed out?
Right. I believe they are supposed to break as you said. It would be dangerous if the windshield couldn't break, in the even the car rolled and the structure collapsed, it would force the windshield to shoot away somewhere, maybe towards the driver, causing another saftey hazard. They are designed to crumble to allow access to the person. Laser technology? Probably not in my opinion, at least not for years and years and years. But who knows, things change.
