Answer:

A convex mirror bends light as it reflects the light, and the farther away a point is from the center, the more the light is bent. ... The other kind of mirror you ask about is a concave mirror. This is the opposite side of the glass bowl from earlier; a concave mirror bends light inwards, towards you.

A vehicles side mirror is convex, a concave mirror would enlarge everything but convex gives a bigger field of view
