Ford car mirrors look to blind spots
Posted April 08, 2008 11:00 pm
DETROIT -- Starting early next year, Ford Motor Co. will begin installing side-view mirrors on its vehicles that show blind spots in the outside upper corners.
The Dearborn-based automaker and several industry analysts say they know of no other automaker that currently offers such a feature, although some are considering it and auto parts stores sell small mirrors that focus on blind spots.
Ford says it will put the mirrors on a few Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models to start, eventually making them standard across most of its lineup.
