Mounted right out at the front of the bonnet is a mirror at roughly a 45 degree angle. This will give you a better view of oncoming traffic when coming out of a side street or driveway when parked cars, bushes, garbage bins, etc obscure the view from the driver's seat.
Optionally, this could pop
up from a retracted postion, and have a control in the dash for the exact angle.

How about a giant motorized mirror that I can use to reflect sunlight back into tailgaters' eyes?

[UB] Perhaps a giant HeNe laser as the add-on pack. |

I had the same idea which I called
sideview mirror, with the additional
feature that it would fold down flat
when the car was moving, and rise
when the car was stopped with the
motor running. |
