I have mixed feelings about this part. It’s interesting in that it offers more space behind the glass compared to the 70s and 80s version. But, with only those two places to hold studs, it’s hard to secure.
This feels like the car-sized version of putting a windshield on a crotch rocket. It’s still just going to redirect all that air right into your face.
I remember just how...ecstatic I was when this part came out in Trans-Yellow. My brain's immediate reaction: 'We're going back to SPAAAAACE!!!':D
My main use for this windshield is as a roof-riser on ambulances and fire truck cabs. The white versions are better, though some have used the clear ones.

Yeah, looks more like an angled sunroof.
Might this be better for windows at the back of a car not the front? Or, since this is Lego, just ditch the idea of being in a car and use it in a mech or spaceship!
Mmmm, Got us a 1 Blacktron 1 useable part here.
Thought there would be more owned among members, but usually only appear as 3-1 creator car front windscreens nowadays or skylights, except for the only recent transparent yellow spacecraft windscreen in 70821.
