How many kinds of mirrors are there in the car? What are their names? What's the use?

The mirror in front of the windshield in the cockpit is called the interior rearview mirror, which is mainly for the convenience of the driver to confirm the situation behind the car.

Mirrors located at the driver's seat and both sides of the driver's seat are called reversing mirrors, which are used to observe the road conditions at the rear of the car when reversing and the driver's observation of the whole car when driving.

The rearview mirror is one of the important safety components of motor vehicle body, which is used to observe the road conditions behind the vehicle when reversing and the general situation of the vehicle when the driver is driving. At present, the reflective film of automobile rearview mirror in China is generally silver and aluminum, and some of it is chromium. At present, chrome mirrors have replaced silver mirrors and aluminum mirrors abroad. The rearview mirror is a tool for the driver to directly obtain external information such as the back, side and bottom of the car while sitting in the cab seat. In order to facilitate the driver's operation, prevent traffic accidents and ensure personal safety, all countries stipulate that rearview mirrors must be installed on cars, and all rearview mirrors must be able to adjust the direction.
