​​How Do Blind Spot Mirrors Work?

A Blindspot mirror is an optic tool that is fitted on the side mirror of vehicles. It helps the driver to see what is hidden in the naked eye and conventional side mirrors. It shows you what is going on behind and around the car.

They are a bit curved from the centre. When you attach them to the side-view mirror, they show you the distant object from different angles.  Side mirrors are unable to do this. Hence the image you get is broader, clearer and accurate.

Manufacturers have installed two radar sensors behind each rear wheel of the vehicles to detect blind spots.  When these radars detect vehicles in blind spots, it illuminates the indicators inserted in rear wing mirrors. These indicators automatically turn off when the area behind the car is clear. Moreover, this system automatically starts operation as soon as the car is ready to drive. There is no need to set it when you drive the car.
