When I did my van training they walked around the van with a child sized stick to demonstrate the blind spot

It's 2023, we stuck a man on the moon 50+ years ago, we've got robots delivering packages, cars that park themselves, driverless cars. How is it that we just accept that huge multi-tonne machines have massive areas the driver can't see? Stick some cameras on them and put the monitors on the cabs. Something about motor vehicles means (society at large) just accepts that some people will get killed by them.

More screens to look at instead of what's out of the window?
I'd prefer to have cars that just don't have those blind spots than to give people more reasons to think SUVs are fine

Agree about daft size suvs. However, vans/lorries do serve a purpose, we don’t bag folks having/using mirrors. We could easily remove blind spots from them if there was the will.
