The Rearview Mirror (A Dash of Info)

 From chaotic early roads filled with horses, wagons, and primitive automobiles… to modern highways packed with high-speed traffic, one small invention quietly transformed driving forever: the rear-view mirror. What began as a controversial racing experiment at the 1911 Indianapolis 500 became one of the most important safety tools ever created. This episode explores how drivers once traveled nearly blind, why mirrors were resisted for decades, and how a simple piece of glass changed human awareness behind the wheel. From side mirrors and blind spots to cameras and digital systems, this is the story of the invention that taught us to look back while moving forward.
