The problem being solved here is that, no matter how many mirrors of any configuration one has, they are still a squishy human who will eventually make a mistake, given that mirrors are used hundreds of times per driving trip. Or they bad-luck into a situation where another driver changes the situation faster than a reasonable, human mirror-checking regimen would reveal. These systems add a layer of safety for when, not if, that happens.
