You can go from the sublime to the ridiculous passing through funky on the way depending how much you wish to spend.
I have no idea if this would work, but a spring loaded emergency glass window punch comes to mind in case a dog "latches" on and you need to give its nose a good sting. I did read that you can "test" these on a thick padded object such as a magazine, so it sounds like they will engage on a softer surface rather than only glass. In any case, I think you wouldn't be accused of carrying a weapon for one of these?

It's one of these bad boys.
Not sure why you're the thread's only skeptic. The second dude has something in his hand hes covering by pulling his sweater down. When he goes to the glass you can see him whack it. Looks like he has one of these.
For regular cars, the Res-Q-Me is pretty much ideal. Zip tie one to the emergency brake handle and you can find it upside down in the dark.
If you have to get through laminated glass in a hurry you want a no-nonsense tool for that. The glass first needs to break, and then it either needs to be pulled or pushed out of the way, or sawed through.
Side windows can usually be broken, and then pushed out with an elbow or foot. They are not attached on all four sides like a windshield. Windshields can be broken and kicked out, but that can be hard to do with you hands. The saw is used because rescuers don't want to kick it in towards the passengers.
My first choice would be a small rock hammer.

Find a good way to secure it so it won't bounce around in the cab if you wreck and roll it. Velcro straps might be good. Once you get that hammer in your hands the side windows are toast, and you have a good fighting chance with the windshield too.
