Most cars have a centre rear view mirror on the windshield and two side mirrors on the doors.
because the mirror used is concave mirror.
Yes. In convex mirrors, the image is always erect and diminished, at whatever distance the object may be in front of the mirror. The convex mirror has a wide field of view and hence is used as a rear view( or driving) mirror in vehicles, to view the traffic behind.

A convex mirror
Vehicles use a plane mirror for the central rearview mirror to provide an accurate reflection of objects behind the vehicle. A convex mirror is used as the side mirror to provide a wider field of view and reduce blind spots. This combination helps the driver have a clear view of the surroundings and enhances safety while driving.
convex mirror provide erect small and virtual image of the object.these are used in side view mirrors of vehicles so that the driver can have a better view of traffic behind.
A concave mirror is typically used to create a magnified image of an object. The mirror curves inward and can produce an enlarged virtual image when the object is placed within the focal length of the mirror.
When the object is between the center of curvature (C) and the focal point (F) of a concave mirror, it forms a virtual, upright, and magnified image behind the mirror. This configuration is often used in makeup mirrors, shaving mirrors, and headlights to provide a magnified reflection of the object without having to move the mirror closer to the object.
convex mirror
The four characteristics used to describe an image seen in a concave mirror are: 1) Size, which can be larger or smaller than the object; 2) Orientation, which can be upright or inverted depending on the object's distance from the mirror; 3) Type, which can be real (formed in front of the mirror) or virtual (formed behind the mirror); and 4) Location, which refers to the position of the image relative to the mirror (closer or farther from the mirror).
To do this get a plane mirror and two pins. 1.place the first pin in front of the mirror and let it stand firmly. 2.the second pin would act like a search pin-move it until it coincide with the image of the first pin. 3.avoid error due to parallax in 2 4.read the distance of the first pin from the mirror and now the second from behind the mirror,you will find out they are approximately the same since you can't do it perfectly at home. 5.Any small object can also be used
