It clips to your windshield visor, and with a glass breaker and seatbelt cutter on each end, and a secure grip, you can cut and smash with either hand in either direction. Actually, it looks like it could be used as a close-in weapon, too.

That’s a great tool. I’ve always kept a glass breaker of some sort in my cars.
There’s a new development, though, and I think it’s worth alerting people in case they don’t already know: Some new cars are coming equipped with driver/passenger side windows that are laminated safety glass instead of the usual tempered glass. I became aware of this only after taking a rock into my passenger window on the Commander while on the freeway, about a month after I bought it. Somehow a big baseball-sized rock came out from between a nearby truck’s tires, ricocheted off of something and came at me sideways across a couple lanes. At first I thought I was being shot at... but that’s another story. I then saw the rock bouncing away into some other unsuspecting victim.
The window didn’t shatter and blow out like a tempered glass window would. I was surprised to find that both front side windows are in fact laminated safety glass— like windshields are made of. It stayed in place with a big starburst crack in the middle. This made it significantly more expensive to replace, but that too is another story.
The takeaway from that is the knowledge that I can’t shatter a front side window to get out. The rear passenger windows, however, are tempered, and would shatter. I don’t really know why they’re doing this. It’s a little curious.
It’s worth keeping in mind too... that electric windows usually *will* still work underwater. It’s always worth a try.
