If so, creating blind spots may have put them off. The driver's view out might be limited, creating a hazard during a lane change.
No what I was trying to get at is you would have to do a lot of cutting into most cars to get flying buttresses, so I was wondering if the winglets alone do anything, or if just the piece perpendicular to the window that forms the root of the winglet would have a similar effect.
