A useful invention?

Wouldn't it be cool if cars came with hood ornaments that functioned as periscopes so you could more easily look around corners for approaching cross traffic? I think that would be awesome. The hood ornament could be pretty simple: a couple of small mirrors or a reflective mirror ball might work. It would be especially useful when big SUVs or trucks are parked near the corner, blocking your view of the cross street. The extra 4 or 5 feet of forward distance provided by the periscope ornament would enable you to peer around those monstrosities and could reduce accidents. Has someone already invented this?
