LEXAN windshields
Why hasn't LEXAN, used in NASCAR windshields cuz it doesn't break, been adapted for use in production cars? Is it really expensive, or are there safety considerations I haven't thought of (maybe it's better to fly through your windshield than hit one that doesn't break, that wouldn't look too nice)?

It scratches very easily, is not a good insulator and is affected by UV light (goes hazy) so you would have to replace your windscreen quite often.
