I recently found out about the Broadway mirror, and I have to ask: Why aren't these more widely used? What's the drawback which prevents it from being standard on cars?

I also know about the wink mirror, but it's huge so I get why they aren't used...

My dad uses this in the car. I think the problem is because it's bent, it changes the size of objects in the mirror, thus warping your perspective. Some people might not like this.

A lot of race teams use mirrors like these so that they can see what's behind them. TBH I don't understand why they're not used in street cars.

Ive wanted to try something like this forever. It would make freeway driving so much easier.
