I've been running these video mirrors for over 2 years now, and they work, but I certainly see the need for various improvements. Another one that I have not mentioned in this post is the need to optically correct for the barrel distortion that these very wide angle cameras have.

...so as a conclusion one could even question the benefits vs the disadvantages?
Has anyone ever done any experimenting with prisms?
Prism (optics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Somehow my head wants to think there should be some such solution that should work fairly well, one could even get a fairly large reflection area with minimal external area (outside the car), no?
anyone?
