Now, concrete is harder and stronger than glass.
I don't know what you're implying, but you're probably wrong.

If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.
If you can't demonstrate it, then you shouldn't believe it.
Over the centuries, a variety of materials have been used to make roads: dirt, gravel, cobble stones, bricks, concrete, asphalt, etc. If glass is such a wonderful material, then why hasn't anyone used it to make roads before now?
If we are not speculating then we must assume
And then you just need someone who is tired of potholes and ready to think of something new.
As this keeps going you think of more and more unimaginative arguments. It's fine if you hate the idea, but "why wasn't it ever used before" is not a good argument.
Silicosis is the only argument I need. Please don't sentence millions of people to agonising death just because of your ignorance.

If asphalt is so great, why didn't they just start with that and skip the other crap?

Likewise, if Xbox One is so great, why was it never created until now? It's a terrible argument.
