I have a 2019 Audi Q5. Been driving it for less than a month. Almost immediately I noticed a drivers side and right side huge blind spot which obstructs the view of cars directly beside me. I'm fearful of changing lanes without looking 3 times. Its dangerous. The car does have the side light signal to let the driver know that a car is beside you - but this just seems gimmicky, like a legal disclaimer in case Audi gets sued because of the blind spot issue. So sorry I purchased this car. Its one of those things you don't know until you start driving in local and highway traffic.

Buy one of those little round stick on mirrors (about an inch in diameter) and put it in the lower outside corner of your outside mirror. I does a nice job of letting you know that a car is along side you.
I have no problem as I turn my head far around quickly glancing out the rear side glass every time I need to see if a car is along side of me. It's just a natural thing for me.

Old Guys
You are not old--just well seasoned. I am almost old. I started driving @ 14 & have at least 1.5 million miles & 75 yrs of driving behind me. Cars have always been my main hobby,although I have strayed several times.
Last May I took a 1700 mi road trip. Can still knock off 500 mi/day. Be well. Be safe.
