Well thanks and Convex does cover a larger area but the image is much smaller..
This is really a very simple idea..and it comes down to this..if you have a small flat mirror that extends the field of vision another say 30 degrees from where it ends that would make a huge difference..especially on the passengers side..where the convex mirror makes things so small its useless..
