Back when wagons were our means of wheeled transport, the driver and passengers largely sat on top and outside (maybe the covered wagon could be said to have a protected inside).If we were rich enough to ride around in coaches or carriages, it was usually only the driver and other servants who sat outside exposed to the elements. The early examples of automobiles were somewhat similar but, it did not take too long for the idea of enclosing driver and passengers in a weather proof box on wheels to catch on. Obviously, at least the driver had to be able to see out to know where he was going – an open hole would have defeated the comfort objective and “glass windows” provided a clear solution that was soon to be seen on all 4 sides of a basic passenger car.
Comfort With Safety
Normal window glass is somewhat fragile and, if smashed, tends to break into dangerously sharp shards which would not be good for anyone inside the vehicle. The inventors in the auto industry soon came up with new types of glass which were not only much stronger but, in the event of breakage, shattered into more or less smooth sided smallish particles which were unlikely to cut human flesh.
Unfortunately, cars will always meet with accidents, flying objects or deliberate hammering on the windows or windshield by thieves or other anti-social elements – any one of which is capable of breaking even the most modern glass.
