What is a car rear view mirror?

A car rear-view mirror is a mirror mounted on the inside of a car, typically above or near the windshield, that allows the driver to see the area behind the car. It is designed to provide a clear view of the road and other traffic behind the vehicle, helping the driver to change lanes, reverse, and avoid collisions.

Rear-view mirrors are usually adjustable, allowing the driver to customize the angle and position of the mirror for optimal visibility. Some vehicles may also have additional features such as auto-dimming mirrors that reduce glare from headlights, or integrated cameras that provide a wider field of view.

In most jurisdictions, it is a legal requirement for cars to have at least one rear-view mirror. Some vehicles, such as trucks or vans, may have additional mirrors to provide even better visibility.
