Automobile Side Mirror

An automobile side mirror, comprising:

• a reflective portion having:
• a front mirror incompletely silvered;
• and
• a rear mirror angularly offset from said front mirror, said rear mirror being fixed relative to said front mirror;
• a bracket hingedly coupled to said reflective portion;
• a solenoid hingedly coupled to said reflective portion to selectively move said reflective portion from a first configuration to a second configuration;
• a return element to return said reflective portion from said second configuration to said first configuration;
• a light sensor positioned to detect an amount of light directed toward said reflective portion;
• a processor in communication with said light sensor and in communication with said solenoid;
• programming in said processor to actuate said solenoid upon detection of a predetermined amount of light;
• and
• programming in said processor for deactivating said solenoid when said predetermined amount of light is no longer detected such that said return element returns said reflective portion from said second configuration to said first configuration.
