Speeding in the outside lane to solve this problem is math professor R. Andrew Hicks from Drexel University.

With the use of a fine mathematical algorithm, he created a mirror that controls the light bouncing off a slightly curved mirror. According to, this results in a field of view of around 45 … Read more
