rearview mirrors
Driver's hindsight panels
Rearview mirrors are mirrors positioned to show what's behind a vehicle, typically mounted on the windshield interior and on both exterior sides.
Drivers check them before changing lanes or backing up.
Figuratively, the rearview mirror represents the past: Don't spend your life looking in the rearview mirror.
