Whether you’re in an Escalade or a Prius, one problem that all drivers face is what they can’t see.With his new disco ball-inspired mirror, a math professor from Drexel University may have eliminated one of the most pesky and dangerous quirks of driving: the blindspot. The “wide angle substantially nondistorting mirror” works like a mirror ball, but unfortunately it doesn’t look like one. Last week Drexel announced that it received a patent for Hicks’ mirror.
