Pretty much all cars where I live (Finland) already have non-flat mirrors.

The most common type of mirror on the driver's side in new cars seems to be one which has a flat part (to show objects in their "true size") and a curved part at (to show a wider field of view).

In India, we have stick-on blind spot mirrors that you can attach on your driver side mirror.

yeah my old polo from the 90s has a drivers mirror that has a flat part and then a second, differently angled section that lets you see the blind spot.
