> Anti-glare coating on rear view mirrors
The technical term is an 'electrochromatic auto-dimming rear-view mirror'. It's been an option on higher end cars/trims for the last ~5 years, even in Europe. On eBay there are DIY kits too.
- sib 10y agoMy 2003 Mini Cooper (not very high end!) has this, as does my 2015 Subaru - it makes it incredibly hard to drive any other car that doesn't.
- lagadu 10y agoNot high-end at all, my Fiesta has it as standard. It's a fantastic feature, it just annoys me that the sensor gets hit by the car ceiling lights when they're on, so if the light is on you get a completely dark mirror. I call it a quirk because it sounds better than "terrible design".
