These cars aren't looking through the windscreen. They're covered in sensors and probably use LIDAR system to navigate. They see in the dark and through fog.

It's fairly obvious where the sensors are located looking at the car. And because these cars are dumb as hell, it takes relatively little to disrupt their ability to tell the difference between say, a person the car has to stop for, and a cardboard cutout of Scott Bacula. Or a traffic cone, as another user mentioned though that particular exploit may have been patched out by now.

I would assume though if they are used to carry passengers then a small break in any of the windows would count as dangerous? and it least impact insurance claims?
