I'm surprised that someone who doesn't post to this newsgroup actually 
knows that.  In any case, I wonder how expensive the following system 
would be:

Using the position of the driver's seat, automatically adjust the 
mirrors such that there are no blind spots.  Perhaps it could 
incor****ate the height of the headrest as well to calculate vertical 
adjustment.  If the driver adjust them inward, automatically revert to 
the correct adjustment.

It shouldn't take much to implement a system like that :)
