I was recently involved in an accident driv'g 2018 Jeep Compass: no significant injury (so far) to a jogger, who was invisible due to a blind spot @driver-side A-pillar/mirror. I touched him w my car (5mph per police rept). It has taken me a month to understand why the accident occurred.

As the passenger windshield wiper sweeps across the glass it hesitates briefly directly in front of & in the line of the drivers vision . Resulting in a serious vision obstruction. Dumping all of the water now and snow in winter right there in front of the driver !
