Concave mirrors are used because they will reflect a light source inside the curve in one general direction. To be more specific, the mirrors are close to parabolic. Parabolas have the property that light beams generated at the focal point of the parabola are all reflected parallel out of the mirror.

This has the effect of making the opposite happen. The rays of light shining out from the bulb are reflected off the concave mirror to make a strong beam of light, which travels out in front of the car to shine on the road.

When you want to change lanes you can see if another vechicle is in your blind spot?

When changing lanes, you can check for vehicles in your blind spot by using your mirrors and performing a quick shoulder check. This involves turning your head to look over your shoulder in the direction you want to move, ensuring there are no vehicles present. Additionally, relying on blind spot monitoring systems, if equipped, can provide extra safety by alerting you to vehicles that may not be visible in your mirrors. Always signal your intention to change lanes to communicate with other drivers.
