I started thinking about how many comments regarding the new footage of the Cybertruck on the test track have been about the change of looks, front-end, lights, curved glass etc. They can be just as safe as regular mirrors and aren't the subject of "baseball" players smacking them as they drive down the street (no matter what the ignorant cops say). The action is one step in the process to inform a potential proposal to alter the mirror requirement for future production vehicles sold in the U.S." The government takes forever to change things but hopefully will allow car manufacturers to remove outside mirrors. The agency said in a notice in the online Federal Register that it is seeking outside research and data about the potential safety impacts of replacing conventional fixed mirrors with camera-based vision systems. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in early October (2019) distributed a notice soliciting industry and public input on whether to allow “camera monitoring systems” to replace rear- and sideview exterior mirrors mandated since 1968 in U.S. If you want to riot, go after (I presume) the people at NHTSA. All the rioting, especially against Tesla, is useless. Hopefully the law changes by the time the CT is released. Until vehicle law says you don't have to have wipers and mirrors, Tesla is required to include them.
