A multiview side mirror device for eliminating blind spots includes a shell that is mountable to a vehicle so that a front face of the shell, which is open and substantially planar, faces a rear of the vehicle. First and second mirrors are operationally engaged to first and second actuators, respectively, which are attached to and positioned in the shell and operationally engageable to a side mirror controller of the vehicle. The first mirror is substantially planar while a front facet of the second mirror curves convexly between its opposing ends. The first and second mirrors are positioned in an upper and lower portions of the front face, respectively. The side mirror controller can selectively actuate the first and second actuators to corotate the first and second mirrors, respectively, about their respective horizontal axes, and to counterrotate the first and second mirrors, respectively, about their respective vertical axes.
