It's a good argument for getting self-driving cars!

Actually, it would be nice if local laws would be updated to allow side cameras instead of requiring mirrors. Apparently the camera lobbyists haven't bought any politicians yet, so it may be a while.

Instead, we get idiots passing laws that allow Plug-in Prius drivers to single occupy HOV lanes. We never had a problem with single occupant Prii being excluded from HOV in the past, but apparently this is important stuff now.
