Why are objects in car mirror closer than they appear?

There is a plane mirror on the driver's side and a convex mirror on the passenger's side. The reason only the passenger mirror is convex is because you are farther away from it.

The convex mirror provides a larger field of view- one that should be comparable to the closer drivers mirror.
