The problem wasn't the glass.
The problem was using wtf touchscreen controls to shift between drive and reverse. Mrs. Chao confused the two then died.
Shitty UI kills another person. Tesla fucking up basic UI design is the real villain here.

she could have not floored it into a lake, but maybe I'm the only person that doesn't go balls out when they're backing out of a spot.
Accidents happen, and people panic. Maybe she thought she was pressing the breaks and made the problem worse. I highly doubt anyone would do it intentionally.
So then why blame the car?
Cause people want to blame the car?
Yeah this is a little nutty seeing people with axes to grind.
An old lady drives her 2005 car through a restaurant entrance and people blame the driver and say things like "driving tests should be mandatory every X years." A woman in a Tesla launches her car into a lake and people jump to the drivers defense, make excuses as to why the driver isn't responsible, and want to complain about whatever bullshit the CEO tweeted out in the last week.
It's almost comical to witness.
she made a mistake. good design could have prevented her crash, and less negligent design should have let her live. absolute worst case scenario, it should have been an expensive mistake, but not a fatal one.
If you make a system idiot proof, nature will always come up with a better idiot
We live in an age of subway wrappers telling you not to eat them, and microwaves including warnings to not use them to warm up pet dogs and cats. Because nature keeps improving on Communi Idiota
Because insufferable Tesla fanbois have for literally fucking years told us that touchscreen controls are better.
No they aren't you dumb fucks. When you cant feel reverse vs feeling drive, people will get confused. And when you get confused on a 3 ton 600horsepower vehicle, people fucking die.
Go shove the shitty defense of touchscreen controls up all your collective asses. Tesla fanbois are insufferable.
Anyway, human computer interaction folks (HCI) have been talking about these issues for literally a decade. Tesla vehicles are prone to sudden unintended acceleration. Tons of people have gotten locked inside a Tesla unable to escape. Etc. Etc. Tons of terrible UI issues and human control issues. It's well known at this point.
Show us on the doll where the tesla drivers annoyed you?
This is astroturfing.
The issue with Tesla has never been that the windows are hard to break. The issue is that the rear doors are electronic with manual override hidden in a camouflaged panel at the bottom of the door pocket. A door pocket that was added to hold things. Those things will block access to the emergency door open.
