Convex mirrors fitted to a car makes following cars appear be?

Convex mirrors are commonly used as side mirrors in vehicles to provide a wider field of view and reduce blind spots. When viewing following cars in a convex mirror, they will appear to be smaller and farther away than they actually are. This is due to the curvature of the mirror, which causes light rays from the following cars to diverge (spread out) before they reach the driver's eyes. The brain interprets this divergence as the cars being smaller and farther away, which helps the driver maintain a safe following distance and be aware of the surrounding traffic.
