The XL1’s presence in this list is notable for its absence of wing mirrors. In the traditional sense, at least. The object on the door, between the wheel and the side window, is actually a camera that beams live images to screens inside the cockpit. Why? The XL1 is all about efficiency, and its teardrop design is intended to create as little drag as possible. Traditional wing mirrors would ruin a lot of that hard work.

I would delete both of my side view mirrors if it was legal. With my rear view camera set up, which has a 180 degree field of view, I can see the back of a car coming up beside me in the rear camera, and see the front of it out my side window, so there is no blind spot whatsoever in my car.
