A method includes deploying a vehicle mirror to a first position and receiving first image data representing the mirror from a second vehicle. The mirror is deployed to a second position and second image data representing the mirror is received. The first and second image data are analyzed to determine an operational status of the mirror. The operational status may be a mirror: stuck in a first position, stuck in the second position, stuck in between the first and second position, and the mirror deployable in each of the first and second positions. The method may comprise vehicle to vehicle communications for determining that a second vehicle is available to participate in the mirror verification method above. Additionally, the method may include activating a blinker on the mirror and comparing the light intensity.
