I couldn’t disagree more.

There’s nothing gimmicky or odd about this. It was demonstrated to behave exactly like standard laminated auto glass, which is everything short of required to meet FMVSS 226 standards required by 2017. Most all US cars now have laminated side glass.

And for good reason, they make curtain air bags stay in place and do their job correctly. Side impacts are way more common than fires or submersions.

Regardless, first responders have been dealing with laminated glass on windshields for many decades, they have tools to deal with it.

And the number of people who break out their own windows to save themselves is approaching zero. Tools are typically still required to break old-school safety glass.
