The rear-view mirror is actually a combination of mirror and camera. In mirror mode, it is a standard mirror. In camera mode, it projects a 110 degree rear view image. (This is not the backup camera view that appears in reverse.) It is far wider than any mirror can be. It even shows cars in your blind spots, which also cause little LEDs on your side mirrors to light up. We are taking no chances, are we?
One quirk that I am still working out: If you have sunlight on the camera, the image is inferior to a mirror although even a mirror does not do well with the Sun reflecting in your eyes. The other quirk is that the transition from focusing at infinity when looking ahead, to a near focus when switching to the camera mirror is a little odd. I suspect with time, my eye focus muscles will strengthen and speed up. I wonder if regular use might improve my nearsightedness?
