The different types of Mirror used in cars are
-
Convex mirror
The side mirrors of the car and the rear view mirror of a car are made up of convex mirrors.
This is because the image formed by a convex mirror is diminished and erect image, thus it provides a larger field of view.
A larger field of view helps the driver to know better about the traffic behind.

Concave mirror
We use Concave mirror in the headlight of a car.
When the bulb of the headlight is placed at the focus of the mirror,
then the concave mirror produces a powerful beam of parallel light rays,
This beam of light helps us to see things at a distance
