My .02 fwiw, in cars equiped with two side mirrors, turning of the head is not always the best option. Head rests and vehicle side walls inhibit view, as may objects inside of the vehicle. Further, in tight spots, mirrors may provide more accurate clearance information (thinking of the passenger side mirror tilting to see where the rear wheel is positioned or for viewing side clearance of vehicle. A warning light may not be so bad, given that many things may be happening to distract a driver. All this is not discounting the seriousness of the act of backing up, but the fact is that beeps inundate our lives, and only in the most optimal of circumstances do we notice them. Think of cell phone tones, pda alarms, radar detectors, watches, and kids' games as competing distractors that all sound alike. Why not have both audio and visual indications?
