What does the anti-glare rearview mirror mean?

Anti-glare rearview mirror refers to the interior rearview mirror that has an automatic anti-glare function. Here are the specific details about the anti-glare rearview mirror: 1. Usage: Except for a few models that can enable or disable the anti-glare function via buttons on the rearview mirror, most automatic anti-glare rearview mirrors are turned on by default. 2. Principle: The automatic anti-glare rearview mirror consists of a special mirror, front and rear light-sensitive diodes, and an electronic controller. The electronic controller receives signals from the front and rear light-sensitive diodes. If the rear diode detects stronger light than the front one, the controller outputs a voltage to the conductive layer of the mirror. This conductive layer then changes the color of the mirror's electrochromic layer. As a result, strong light reflected by the anti-glare rearview mirror to the driver's eyes appears dim and does not cause glare.
I've been driving for over a decade and have firsthand experience with auto-dimming rearview mirrors. It means that during nighttime or strong light conditions, it automatically reduces the glare from headlights behind you, maintaining clear visibility. This mirror has a small sensor that detects high beams from trailing vehicles, then adjusts the mirror's internal dimming film to reduce brightness, preventing you from being momentarily blinded. Not only is it convenient, but it also significantly improves safety – avoiding sudden braking or accidents. Most new cars come with this feature now. If you're a new driver, remember to check the settings during startup to ensure it's activated. I think this is far superior to the old flip-type manual anti-glare mirrors – much more effortless and efficient.
