What is the difference between electrochromic mirrors and automatic tilt rear view mirrors?

What will be an ideal response?


Inside and outside mirrors can be electrochromic. To provide self-dimming in response to glare, automatic day/night inside rear view mirrors have two layers of conductive glass with an electrochromic material sandwiched between. The driver can switch this feature off, except when the transmission is shifted into reverse. Photosensors facing the front and rear adjust the reflection level of the mirror

Some vehicles have inside rear view mirrors that tilt automatically when too much light is reflected into the driver's eyes. The mirror housing has two photocells: one measures the light within the vehicle (ambient light), and the other measures the intensity of light on the mirror. When the light on the mirror reaches a set point in relation to ambient light, a solenoid moves the mirror to a different position.
