By looking at the picture, it is a laminated glass of tempered glass.
Tempered glass is the most common glass of side windows on cars and the back glass. This is the glass that shatters into multiple pieces, much less harmful than having large shards. Laminated glass is simply put, 2 plies of glass with an interlayer, usually PVB. This plastic makes the glass stay in place when breaking, plus giving additional mechanical resistance. By law, windshields need to have laminated glass, because if something impacts the glass, only one particular area would be damaged. If you have a tempered + laminated glass (as in the picture), any breakage of the glass will disable the driver's ability to see through.
