Better option is probably convex mirrors. Look up Zoom Engineering.

Also found this.

LaneFX® Blind Spot Mirror Technology - Automatically Moves Your Power Mirrors to Eliminate Your Blind Spot

sort of neat idea, but that's too late for me. i initiate quick lane change while i turn on the signal, so that split second is too much delay.

setting your stock mirrors outward, or using convex mirror is the best way as you can see the car next to you AT ALL TIMES before initiating the lane change. for me, i run cs on my car. check out my albums page for picts. lol

So few people know how to use side mirrors...
As stated in previous posts objects should travel from peripheral to side mirror to rear mirror to side mirror to peripheral. There's no need to see your car in your mirrors as that's just overlapping with your rear-view mirror's visibility, diminishing your side visibility and creating/increasing your blind spot.

The link cooltoy posted explains this perfectly.

Granted you're likely overseas so it may be acceptable but that's illegal here in Australia. Not that it stops everyone from doing it - it doesn't give anyone else enough warning.
One of my pet peeves when driving
