The days of worrying about a car lurking in your vehicle’s blind spot could soon be a thing of a past, thanks to a new subtly curved side mirror that dramatically increases the field of view while producing minimal distortion.

The new mirror, invented by mathematician Andrew Hicks at Drexel University, was awarded a U.S. patent on May 15, 2012.

Traditional flat mirrors on the driver's side of vehicles give drivers an accurate sense of the distance of cars behind them but have a very narrow field of view.  As a result, there is a region of space behind the car, known as the blind spot, that drivers can’t see via either the side or rear-view mirror.
