It is possible to have an accident due to blind spotting, the question is whether you blame the car or yourself. IMHO, with properly adjusted mirrors there isn't a practical blind spot on the highway, but many people don't know how to properly adjust mirrors (I didn't until this car required me to learn).
Quick Google link that seems to have the right technique:

Backing out of a parking space, on the other hand, is totally dangerous in this car. Be smart, go slow, pause for idiots
