When driving at night in Franklin, PA, it can be difficult to see when bright lights are shining in your eyes. Fortunately, some vehicles at A. Crivelli Subaru has components that can make things easier. They offer auto-dimming rearview mirrors that can reduce glare.
An auto-dimming rearview mirror might appear like a typical mirror, at least during the day. However, it can jump into action at night. It can help you because it's been set up with electrochromic gel and sensors.
When the sensors detect bright lights, they send out electrical signals. Those signals travel through the electrochromic gel embedded between the mirror's layers of glass. The signals generate a response from the electrochromic gel in which it undergoes a transformation and darkens. This results in the mirror appearing to be dim. The electrochromic gel can return to its normal transparency when the sensors no longer detect bright lights.
