Cos of the steeply sloping windscreen, the mirrors r placed a little back from it & the small window is for u to see the corners & kerb when u turning or parking.

 

It's just to help u see better when u driving. Just like some trucks got a big glass "window" on the door. It's so u can see the side kerb when turning or parking.

i think most regulators require manufacturer to provide for a certain amt of vision angles fr the driver side.

 

the front triangle is very useful if u wanna turn tight corner to avoid hitting kerbs on ur right

Its there to reduce the blind spot created by the A-pillar, so theres less chance you 'can't see' an oncoming car, motorcycle, pedestrain etc when turning out from a junction.

 

Modern cars with super strong passenger cell means thicker A-pillars.

The triangular glass is removable so that u can mount machine guns or even missiles to shoot at jay-walkers, road hoggers, cyclists, taxis, speeding vans/lorrys on lane 1 and slow motorcyclists. [sly]

left side might able to look thru' and provide some good view, as for the driver side, it blocked by the pillar.

The reason that manufacturers provide these triangular glass especially for vehicles with a steeper sloping front screen unlike the standard saloon is to enable the front doors window glass to slide into the door panel.

 

It follows the same principle as the rear doors.
