I'm not against the future, it just doesn't seem all that useful to me. I do find cross traffic warnings to be a lot more useful personally.

I think I’m just not trusting of mirrors. To note, I also don’t have any convex (add on “blind spot” lens) mirrors on the driver side. Just factory plane mirror. I need to barely see the side of my car (usually the rear door handle) in the lower corner of the mirror.
I’ve talked to some drivers who like having theirs set way out in left field (literally) but then I’d have no reference of where stuff is in relation to my vehicle if I don’t also see the side of the car in the same frame.
Here’s my process:
0.) Signal
1.) If BSM is not alerting
2.) Start checking my mirrors for sufficient space to move
3.) If clear, I do turn my head and look directly before merging
