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.
convex 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 as used by drivers in different vehicles......
The image formed in a plane mirror is virtual, upright, and appears to be as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of it because the light rays reflecting off the object are reflected at the same angle behind the mirror, forming the virtual image. This is known as the "law of reflection," where the incident angle equals the reflected angle. This property makes the image appear to be the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
A concave mirror curves inward and can produce both real and virtual images, depending on the object's position. It is often used in reflecting telescopes and makeup mirrors. A convex mirror curves outward and can only produce virtual images that are smaller and upright. They are commonly used in security mirrors and side-view mirrors in vehicles.
