Automatic folding mirrors on luxury cars encourage dooring

I've had a couple of near doorings involving luxury cars (both Mercedes) that had side mirrors that automatically fold in. I can't help but think those folded mirrors discourage motorists from making sure it's safe to open the door, and I think that feature was designed to protect the luxury car owner, but without any thought to the safety of the driver or passengers, or others who might be traveling near the car. Thoughts?

It's the entitlement mentality.

Agreed, there are assholes everywhere. I just seem to notice that a disproportionate amount of the assholes drive luxury cars.
