Where? Back to the future?
It'll come soon enough - always does.

I can think of better ways to protect cyclists! Train THEM better and, enforce it. Too many (not all, by any means) vehicle vs cycle accidents are (partially) the fault of the cyclist, putting themselves in harm's way.
Too many "civilians" don't respect their own safety, on the roads. Especially around larger vehicles, of all types.

Not very good if the "mirror arms" are not retractable.
