Andrew Hicks, reflected in and among mirrors he has designed. The one in the
middle, with Inquirer print readable, is a non-reversing mirror.

Hicks hopes to sell his design overseas, where it would be allowed - reasoning that a motorist might prefer to see more things, even if they are smaller. (U.S. rules do allow curved mirrors on the passenger side, but they must include the warning "Objects in Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear.")

Good luck, Professor, the Europeans have had this sort of mirror (for the driver's side) for years. It's the US government's foolish regulations that are behind the curve.

Could math provide the path to better reflection?

I like mirrors aka The Looking Glass.
There is something revealing in them, in a mystical sort of way.
But, forget about inventing the Disco Ball dude, it's already happened !

Shaving with that nonreversing mirror could be problematic.
