Forget expensive high-tech warning systems: a US university has developed a “disco ball” mirror that can show you what’s hiding in your car’s blind-spot.

Some car makers charge thousands of dollars for high-tech (and error-prone) camera and sensor based blind-spot monitoring systems, but a US university has come up with a cheaper option – a mirror.

The Drexel University has patented a new blind spot mirror that it says can triple the driver’s field of view – from 15-17 degrees to 45 degrees – at the rear side of the car because of the way the mirror’s glass is curved.

The man behind the mirror, mathematics professor Dr R Andrew Hicks explains that the traditional driver’s side mirror offers a “very narrow” field of view.
