Re: Anyone ever driven with blind spot warning
I would think that those aspheric mirrors would be much better than the radar with warning lights and/or beeps. Radar just says that something is there. The mirrors would tell you what is there.

Also not sure if the radar warning goes off every time something is in your blind spot. That would be a real PITA that your mind would start blocking out with it constantly going off. On the other hand, if there's no warning until you do start to make a move, that could startle you. I'd want to know before signaling and moving, which brings us back to the mirrors.
