minus-squarescytale@piefed.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·13 hours agoI have an auto-dimming rearview mirror but the dark tint on my rear/hatch glass prevents it from triggering most of the time. So high beams are bright enough to still blind me from behind, but not bright enough to engage the mirror.
minus-squareCris_Citrus@piefed.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 hours agoYeaaah, I’ll keep my little flip down. I feel like we have this compulsive need to over complicate things. Just let me start my car with an actual key, control the mirror dimming myself, actually keep myself in my lane by gasp paying attention. I do think saftey options that just give the driver more info can be good though, like those blind spot indicators if they’re reliable enough. And butt warmers. Butt warmers should stay.
