Spent many years parking in Japan. If you don't fold your mirrors in, somebody is going to fold them in for you, sometimes violently. Yes, the parking spaces available are that tight. Heck, I've been on a few roads in Japan between brick walls where I had to fold the mirrors in to get down them. Seriously.

So yeah, in Japan, power folding mirrors are pretty much standard equipment on all but the cheapest of cars (and they'll have manual folding mirrors). America? No need - how many people do you see parking by backing in in America?
