The auto-dimming rear-view mirrors have become a common feature of the vehicles that are driven around. However, you are probably wondering when they have first been developed. As with many features of motor vehicles we enjoy, the auto-dimming rear-view mirrors are actually quite recent in the history of the automotive industry.
The auto-dimming rear-views have started coming out in the 1980s. They have proven to be an effective feature for automobiles. They have made things safer for drivers that have bought a vehicle with it or had it installed in their vehicles. The restriction of light makes things easier for them.
Without the rear-view mirrors, you will suffer not only from blinding light but something known as the Troxler effect which has been known to slow reaction time down to a little more than a second. This is a dangerous amount of slowdown when going around 60 miles an hour.
