TOMORROW'S AUTO GLASS

After a short review of the history of glass in automobiles, the author looks to the future: glass will play an important part in auto glass design, windshields and backlights will be installed at greater sloping angle for better aerodynamics, and there will be more flush glazing, more complex bends and curves, and even more glass usage.
