A method includes capturing a first image of a first vehicle mirror deployed to a first position by a second vehicle. The second vehicle captures a second image of the mirror deployed to a second position and analyzes the first and second images 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. Additionally, the method may include, receiving, prior to capturing the first image, a request to participate in a mirror verification. Once verified, determined that the second vehicle is within a range to detect the mirror and transmit a response to the first vehicle agreeing to participate in the mirror verification based on the determination that the second vehicle is within the range to detect the mirror.
