activate a turn signal and that mirror swings open. slow below 40mph and the mirrors open.

ideally. in my instance (if I ever did it) I would manually control them.

best of both worlds. nice large easy to view mirrors and "zero mirrors" (except the inside mirror) at speed. but available by flipping a switch.
I've thought of the same idea myself .
The problem is that ( In my case ) the mirrors need to deployed in a fraction of a second.

How many times do we find ourselves surprised at an oncoming car and immediately have to look in the mirror in a split second ?
