Prius Blind Spot Detection Device

A week ago, I got in a crash in a Prius and I attribute it to the right front blind spot, combined with right side mirror, a small hill below the mirror, and a pole creating a very extended blind space. The front of the Prius was crushed in to the front windows. Myself and the other car's driver and passenger ended up in a ditch and walked out of the cars, but it could have been fatal.

I recently found out how dangerous that front blind spot is on my 2005 Prius. I damnnear ran over a mother pushing her baby in a stroller--they were in a crosswalk and I was making a left turn, fortunately from a stop sign and going slowly. I still hit the mother, and didn't see her until she was on my front hood. Thank God I missed the stroller. I never saw them. And couldn't figure out why, I was in no hurry, not much traffic--until I went back the next morning to do the same maneuver, to see what went wrong. Sure enough, the blind spot kept me from seeing part of the crosswalk during my turn, and that part was exactly where someone in motion, crossing the street, would be--keeping herself in the blindspot as I approached.

I, too, have had several near misses and a few "non misses" with my 2010 Prius. The blindspot
is terrible and the back up camera is not helpful at all. I am seriously considering trading it in
for another hybrid that does not have this problem.

We had a 2004, 2005 and now this 2010 Prius and the others weren't nearly as bad.

I am done with Priuses although I love everything else about them.
