Q
which mirror is used in vehicles for rear view
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
In vehicles, the rear view is typically facilitated by two types of mirrors: the flat rearview mirror and the convex side mirrors. The interior rearview mirror that allows drivers to see the road behind them through the rear windshield is usually a flat mirror. This provides a true-to-scale representation of the distance of vehicles behind, minimizing distortion. On the other hand, the side mirrors on the exterior of the vehicle are often convex. Convex mirrors have a curved surface, allowing a wider field of view, which helps in reducing blind spots. This curvature, however, does introduce a slight distortion, making objects appear smaller and therefore farther away than they actually are. This is why side mirrors typically carry the warning "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear." The combination of these mirrors gives drivers a comprehensive view of the surroundings, enhancing safety on the road.
