This is in contrast to what the article from NHTSA says:
"With this new setting, it is no longer necessary to turn and look into the blindzones."
... which is in contrast to what the original article quite emphatically says:
"... move your head or you're dead ..."
I like the novel mirror arrangement and will try it but I hope people will follow the advice of the fighter pilot, and not NHTSA, and continue to move their heads.
I tried the different angle a couple of years ago because it seemed like the smart thing to do—increase the number of things I see.
I found that my blind spots were reduced but not eliminated. It’s scary to think that somebody on the road might stop looking over after adjusting their mirrors.
One solution that I have more faith in is the little convex “blind-spot mirrors.” Those actually seem to cover everything in the blind spot and then some more (at least on the driver side).
