A New Automotive Aftermarket Solution for Better Visibility

Core Content: At CES 2026, Japanese accessory firm Car Mate showcased a practical aftermarket product: a water-repellent film for sideview mirrors. This simple film uses a micro-structured surface to make water bead up and roll off like on a lotus leaf, helping to maintain clear visibility during heavy rain or snow. The company also introduced other accessories, including device chargers integrated with Apple's "Find My" app to help locate a vehicle in a parking lot.
