Yes, the point of the article is to adjust the side mirrors further out in order to shrink the regular blind spot (the same one you are talking about). I disagree with that though, for two reasons: 1. You don't eliminate the blind spot, only shrink it. Depending on your car, the FoV of the mirrors, and the size of the other vehicle, you might still have a large enough blind spot so that your peripheral vision doesn't have it once it leaves the side mirror. 2. It risks creating an even more dangerous blind spot behind you (the one between the mirror views). Maybe not large enough for a car, but definitely for a motorcycle. This one is much harder to catch even if you turn your head. I think every driver should turn their head, always.
