Nondistorting mirror eliminates blind spots
PHILADELPHIA – Have you ever been passed on the road by a vehicle that seems to have come out of nowhere? Well, drivers: Take heed. A new subtly curved side mirror that dramatically increases the field of view with minimal distortion could offer an alternative to traditional mirrors that induce blind spots. Created by Drexel University mathematics professor Dr. R. Andrew Hicks, the new mirror uses a mathematical algorithm to precisely control the angle of light bouncing off its curves; it was recently issue...
