14-year-old solved the problem of blind spots with award-winning science fair project
 [MYSANANTONIO] Over 840,000 of the car crashes that occur on U.S. roadways each year can be traced back to a problem area with which all drivers have experience: the blind spots caused by the A-frame of a car's structure.Despite over a century of constant improvements to automobile, there's still no perfect fix for blind spots that the auto industry has uniformly accepted. But that might be about to change thanks to an ingenious solution from an unlikely engineering hero who can't even drive. Alaina Gassler, 14, of West Grove, Pennsylvania, has designed a technology that makes the A-frame pillars of a car "see-through" by using projectors that cast images of what's really behind them onto their surfaces.
