Why do the mirrors appear parallel but are actually not parallel?

The reason is that the rearview mirror angle is not properly adjusted, and also when looking at the rearview mirror, you should focus on the side of the car body closest to the lane line. The side of the car body farther from the lane line will appear parallel in the rearview mirror but is actually not parallel. The functions of rearview mirrors: 1. Convenience for the driver: To facilitate the driver's operation, prevent traffic safety accidents, and ensure personal safety, rearview mirrors must be installed in cars, and all rearview mirrors must be adjustable. The driver can directly obtain external information about the rear, side, and lower parts of the car while seated in the driver's seat. 2. Checking the rearview mirror during emergency braking: When there is an emergency ahead requiring sudden braking, observe the central rearview mirror to see if there is a closely following vehicle behind, and then appropriately release the brake slightly based on the distance from the vehicle in front.
