Too much potential danger in front of me ( road debris, pot holes, cars, people...etc ) to be spending too much time gazing into a rear-view mirror.
Time for new and better technology. First the mirror as we know it gets replaced with a new helmet with a shield instead of glasses. That shield acts as a reflection of what's behind you like a mirror. But it has technology to stabilize the image, no matter how fast your head moves around. The camera eye is not mounted on the back of the helmet; there's more than two cameras. They're similar to the one's used for medical devices. That helmet has sensors that measures temperature and humidity inside the helmet. No more sweat going into your eyes.
