Safety features can absolutely be a luxury.

  Not when what they're protecting are pedestrians, especially children, who often aren't tall enough to be visible in a mirror.

    This is an issue due to bad visibility in modern vehicles due to safety constraints requiring tiny windows, giant pillars, tinted windows, high position off the ground etc.

      This is definitely a thing. In our current car even the rear view mirror is difficult to use because it's looking out of such a small rear window with a head rest for the middle seat in the way.

        I don't typically carry passengers in the rear, so I just removed all of my rear seat headrests for better visibility.
