It can be hard to drive around Ellicott City at night since you might not be able to see everything clearly. This is especially true when bright lights reflect off of your rearview mirror and shine in your eyes. Fortunately, industry experts have figured out a way to deal with this problem. At Acura of Ellicott City, many new models feature auto-dimming rearview mirrors, which can significantly reduce glare.
An auto-dimming rearview mirror has extra components that play important roles. First, it has sensors that can detect the presence of bright lights. Also, it has an electrochromic gel that can change its color in response to various conditions.
When the sensors detect bright light, they send out an electric signal. This signal is what leads to a reaction in the electrochromic gel. This reaction causes the gel to transition from being transparent to being a darker shade. The final result is a rearview mirror that appears dimmer.
