   The autodimming interior rearview mirror automatically darkens when the lights of a vehicle behind shine on the mirror. The rearview mirror comprises of two sheets of glass with a film in-between, and a reflective layer on the inner glass. The long sides of the mirror glass each have a contact strip. Depending on the signals from the sensors, a voltage can be applied across the mirror causing the film to darken. This control is stepless.
