I absolutely agree with that. In the Mustang you can adjust your mirrors so you can always see a car in till it is literally right next to you. Till the legal liability aspect gets figured out I would never solely rely on blis, I think of it more as redundancy. I would think that's why the lights are in the mirror. You are still supposed to check your mirrors, but it may save someone from hitting a car they didn't see coming.I guess that's just mirror checking discipline on my part. Most people drive with their side mirrors in way too far. I set my side mirrors so that as a vehicle in an adjacent lane leaves the centre mirror it appears in the side mirror. By the time it is leaving the side mirror it is already far enough up my side that I see it in my peripheral vision. If you don't set your mirrors like this, try it and see just how much extra vision your mirrors provide you with. I will agree, though, that the BLIS probably helps when you're on a major multi lane highway and someone comes in at you from a third lane. A shoulder check should pick that up if your mirrors don't.
I drove a kia k900 which has cameras in the mirrors. Its an amazing system that shows everything next to you in the gauge cluster when you use your turn signal. I really hope ford is developing a similar system. I understand its not a new idea but I think the way it was implemented is a game changer.
