For them, they HAVE to turn to check blind spots and if they get lazy... And that's a pretty dangerous design flaw if they angle the side mirrors in the way you describe. Manufacturers should keep the mirrors at close to 90 degrees to the car's body. Then if you want aerodynamics, add some plastic up front at sharp angles to decrease wind-resistance.
Edit: To make this more on-topic, let's discuss the size/bulk/angles of the side mirrors on the camouflaged test car.

I agree. If you watch how other people drive, you may notice most people are terrified to change lanes, or they avoid it a lot. I'm sure this is why. Who wouldn't be scared to do something when they can't see around them?

Sort of. I was trying to target it towards the development of this car.
I also noticed from the latest spy photo that the mirrors seem folded in too far.
