Convex mirrors provide a wider [[field of view]] than flat mirrors,<ref name=king2000/> and are often used on vehicles,<ref name=ushw1979/> especially large trucks, to minimize [[Blind spot (automobile)|blind spots]]. They are sometimes placed at [[road junction]]s, and at corners of sites such as [[parking lot]]s to allow people to see around corners to avoid crashing into other vehicles or [[shopping cart]]s. They are also sometimes used as part of security systems, so that a single [[video camera]] can show more than one [[angle]] at a time.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Why are Convex Mirrors Used in Shops  |url=https://www.insight-security.com/why-are-convex-mirrors-used-in-shops |access-date=2024-09-17 |website=insight-security.com}}</ref> Convex mirrors as decoration are used in interior design to provide a predominantly experiential effect.<ref name=charm2016/>
