I'm more thinking about the location at 4:00 & 8:00 on clock, (where
corner of car are at 4:30 & 7:30)... just have the child opens the
third-fourth door... if it is only 90 degree, they are too small and a
dead zone is going to exist. Maybe not right in front of the rear side
door, but could be at the rear fuel-filling level... or better (?) at
the front side door level, right in front of the current mirror.

I can preview interesting situation with adjustment of direction & speed
to handle 1 car on the next lane at the same speed (side by side) and 2
motorbikes, both passing... one between both cars and one on the
outside. And to make things better, add one car in front and one car or
one motorbike behind, on the same lane.
When the distance to the other "car" get reduced below security level
(as both motorbikes are indeed passing you):
* move out of lane to raise it again ? (1)
* break ? (2)
* do nothing ? (3)
* other ? (4)

For additional fun, replace the back car with a heavy trunk, in hurry
(so not respecting its security breaking distance with your car).

I'm afraid automated driving is not for the Mediterranean.
