Philosophically I`m 100% with you ... checking the blind spot was one of the first things they taught me at driver ed, and to give you a sense of when that was it was in a Dodge Monaco with a 318 in it ... but I`ve gotten to the point now where I`m paranoid to drive in anyone`s blind spot because it doesn`t seem to be the fashion these days to look over the shoulder ... and so for me, just like the mirror is technology to assist with seeing behind, I`m all for advanced technology making it easier and better for drivers to do so. Encouraging laziness and bad habits ... I guess so ... but the results are what I think I`d focus on and I think this could make driving safer.

Ok seriously... whats the point of these? TURN YOUR HEAD AND LOOK! I'm sure some people do have limited ability to turn their heads, and these would be fine.
I don't know about everyone else here, but looking over my shoulder is instinctive after this many years of driving. If I had these mirrors on my car, I'd still be looking.
