Sorry, I didn`t see her putting it on.

I do see it when I review the video again. But I guess the impression I was left with, rightly or wrongly, was that she wasn`t wearing one. For a time, while watching, I stopped absorbing the message they were trying to promote, and wondered why they wouldn`t show it more clearly. Maybe I am just easily distracted.

They have so-called "oleophobic" glass surfaces but I think that so long as we secrete oil from our skin and/or eat greasy food there is no escaping grubby paw prints on stuff.

Neat video. Agree on the comments about having to keep all that glass clean.

First thing I noticed in the car was driving without a seatbelt. Seems to me that when driving in a glass car, seatbelts might be a good idea.

Check out the translucent words on the screen that describes each
segment. One says smug resistant glass. In fact there are other descriptions as well.

Good vid and dig out, LM/S!
Bought a bunch of GLW in the late '90s, pre-last split...sold some along the way.
Still have considerable shares, but price is lagging. Buy some!

Seriously, if anyone is ever in Corning, NY area, hit their Glass Museum: remarkable.
And, the drive up I-86/route 17 is a decent drive, esp in the Autumn...
GL, mD
