Relevant Background: "The windshield (North American English) or windscreen (Commonwealth English) of an aircraft, car, bus, motorbike, truck, train or tram is the front window, which provides visibility while protecting occupants from the elements. Modern windshields are generally made of laminated safety glass, a type of treated glass, which consists of, typically, two curved sheets of glass with a plastic layer laminated between them for safety, and bonded into the window frame..Windshields protect the vehicle's occupants from wind and flying debris such as dust, insects, and rocks, and provide an aerodynamically formed window towards the front. UV coating may be applied to screen out harmful ultraviolet radiation...In many places, laws restrict the use of heavily tinted glass in vehicle windshields; generally, laws specify the maximum level of tint permitted. Some vehicles have noticeably more tint in the uppermost part of the windshield to block sunglare." ("Windshield", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windshield)

Statistics on windshield claims: « "Windshields are the number one insurance claim in the United States. Thirty percent of auto insurance claims are windshields. Edge cracks account for approximately 70-80% of these windshield replacement claims. Edge cracks occur because the first two inches around the perimeter of windshields have a manufacturing defect known as “residual stresses” which are created during the annealing process. This is the weakest part of the windshield and fractures more easily than the rest of the windshield... Windshield replacements have been made obsolete twice, first in 1990 by Ultra Bond, the repair of the edge crack and again in 1996 by Edgeguard, the elimination of the edge crack, the feasible alternative to the multi-billion dollar defect."

Relevant statistics on windshield: " Your windshield is more likely to crack—and cracks are more likely to spread—when the temperature changes. Temperature changes cause glass to expand and contract, which can make your windshield a bit more fragile. Likewise, many of us are on the road more in the summer as we travel on vacations, to visit family or just make runs to the local pool. All of this leads to an increase in broken windshields that will need to be replaced.." ("Heat and Windshield Breakage", https://info.glass.com/heat-windshield-breakage/)

Statistics on winter storms and snow accumulation: "Dangerous winter storms and bad weather are a factor in nearly half a million crashes and more than two thousand road deaths every winter.About 46 percent of crashes involving bad weather take place in the winter, making it the worst time of year for driving in treacherous conditions, according to research by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, a non-profit, charitable organization.Snow, ice and sleet are not only a problem when driving on the roadways, where it can cause significant safety problems by making it difficult to maneuver or stop, but also when it accumulates on the vehicle.The accumulation of snow and ice on the vehicle can also have significant impacts on both the driver and those around. AAA experts explain why it is important to clear off your vehicle of snow and ice before hitting the roads, as it can have both legal and safety repercussions... There are numerous hacks that you can try if you find your windshield frozen with ice and snow during the winter, such as filling the windshield washer reservoir with a winter fluid and using a plastic scraper, soft bristle brush or squeegee to remove the ice as it melts...” ("Potential dangers of not removing the snow, ice off your vehicle before driving", https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/potential-dangers-of-not-removing-the-snow-ice-off-your-vehicle-before-driving/336904/amp)

Relevant article on defogging windshield: "Windshields fog up because of differences in temperature and moisture in the air [humidity]. Window fog is caused by moist, humid air inside the vehicle coming in contact with the cold windshield before it’s warmed up. Your windshield will be colder than the air inside the car as it is in contact with cooler outside air.
There are several factors contributing to this humid air:
- Driver or passenger breathing/inhaling and exhaling
- A steaming mug of coffee
- The rain and snow on your clothes
The humid/moist air comes into contact with the cold surface of the windshield glass, releases moisture and condenses into what we know as fog. The key to whether we can expect to find fog is the temperature at which the maximum amount of water vapour can be held in the air at a given pressure before condensing into a liquid. This is known as the dew point...It is also important to consider that the air trapped in the car from the previous day will be more humid than the outside humidity level, therefore holding more moisture..."("Winter Driving, Visibility and Defogging the Windscreen/ Windshield" https://www.arrivealive.mobi/winter-driving-windscreen-visibility-and-defogging-the-windscreen)
