With properly adjusted mirrors to create a continuous field of view, motorcycles are visible. Car has “blind spot” detection but is completely useless. The vehicle it claims is out of my view is in fact. Your diagram is actually incorrect as well. The passenger side mirror is angled too far inward. It’s a pretty poor diagram because I certainly don’t have any issue seeing motorcycles no matter where they are.
It seems you and I are alone in this thread. I like how you said a continuous field of view, that’s exactly what it is. The over the shoulder check is unesscessarily dangerous, and leaves you bet susceptible to rear ending people.
For most people, you shouldn’t see your own car in your side mirrors.
