Volvo has gizmo that a mirror could accomplish

I read that the Volvo S80 has a gizmo that senses a car in the next lane and flashes a small LED. The gizmo is by the side mirrors. It's suppose to be not distracting but alerts the driver not to change lanes.
The same thing is accomplished by an aspheric driver's side mirror in non-US market Saabs.
I prefer not having gizmos if the same thing can be done with a simpler system. However, this type of mirror is not permitted to be in US cars even though you can buy it and have it put in. The aspheric mirror is similar to the small convex stick on mirrors except it's blended into the mirror surface, not a separate mirror like the stick-ons.
