Detailed Solution

The mirror used as a rear-view mirror in an automobile is a convex mirror.
Drivers use a convex mirror as a rear-view mirror in their vehicles because a convex mirror always forms virtual, erect and diminished images regardless of the distance of the object. Therefore, a convex mirror allows the driver to view a large area of the traffic behind them. This is because the convex mirror forms a small image than the object. This is why convex mirrors are used as back-view mirrors in vehicles.
