The rear View mirrors are required by law here as far as I can tell. As for the wiper I'm really surprised they didn't set it up to park in the upright position as I assume that would be slightly more aerodynamic, and off to one side of the window it wouldn't really have to block much if any of the forward view.

Except the driver is sitting in the middle so therefore the windshield wiper would be right in their line of sight. I know I would not like that. :) Z

Guess you failed to READ; "would be slightly more aerodynamic, and off to one side of the window it wouldn't really have to block much if any of the forward view."

Oh I read it, but I obviously don't understand. I personally find things on the window distracting and prefer not to have them there. The moving windshield wiper is acceptable but stationary anywhere other than along the bottom? I can't even imagine why that is a "better mouse trap" so to speak.
