Getting the rules changed will be a huge effort, and Tesla doesn’t have much time if it wants to proceed with its plan for the Model X. The crossover utility vehicle–think station wagon on steroids–slated for production next year has no mirrors at all. Instead, there’s a small camera on each door where you’d expect to see a big mirror. CEO Elon Musk is not a man who likes to compromise on technology or design, and Tesla is eager to see the rules changed as quickly as possible. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration spokesman Nathan Naylor said the agency is taking the request seriously.
