ワイパで水滴を除去するようになっている。<Prior Art> When water droplets adhere to the rearview mirror or rear window of a car, it becomes extremely difficult to see behind the vehicle. Driving in this state is extremely dangerous, so if water droplets get on the car, the driver usually gets out of the car and wipes them off with a cloth. Furthermore, some luxury cars are equipped with mirror wipers and rear window wipers, and in these cases, water droplets are removed by the wipers by operating a switch from the driver's seat.

題点を有している。<Problem to be solved by the invention> As in the former case, it is very troublesome to stop the car and go out to wipe the mirror while driving, and there are cases where the driver continues driving in a state where it is difficult to see. Often. The latter mirror wiper is structurally complex and prone to failure, and has the disadvantage that the movement of the wiper narrows the field of view or makes it difficult to see, and furthermore, water droplets are not sufficiently removed.
