I rented a car and the rear view mirror is not a mirror at all but rather is a tiny LED screen showing the output of a camera. This is actually fucking terrible because I have no idea where the camera is, therefore I have no idea where this notional "mirror" is meant to be in space and therefore I cannot gauge distances, normally one of the main things you look into a rear view mirror to do
It’s incredible that people will buy this kind of crap for a ton of money!
I’ve seen new Nissans with this but the mirror also is an actual mirror. Just if you flip it down to night mode (aka fuck why are your lights so bright it hurts mode), it turns on the camera instead. So you have a choice of mirror or screen. Wondering if that was the case here and this person just… can’t figure out anything. Seems they couldn’t figure out how to like hit a few buttons to set up main screen so idk.
Car rentals should be forced to provide a manual, especially nowadays when cars are full of computers and different cars have different operating modes/systems.
And no, I don’t think she is stupid or dumb. I would have reacted the same way to an idiotic display instead of a mirror with no sign to say “click here to switch to mirror”

For sure on manuals or at least a walkthrough of specific features.
I do believe the mirror just flips up/down like a normal mirror to change to mirror/camera if it’s similar to the new Nissans.
