Abstract

A multimode switchable automobile rear view mirror, installed at two sides of an automobile, includes a central control module, a vehicle side condition display mirror and an image recording member. The vehicle side condition display mirror includes a mirror reflecting region and a multimode display region. The image recording member records a road surface at the side of the automobile. When the automobile progresses forward, the multimode display region is in a reflecting state to reflect the road surface at the side of the automobile. When the automobile reverses, the multimode display region changes to a first monitor display state to display a low road surface that the image recording member records on the road surface adjacent to the side and next to the tire of the automobile.
