    Your rearview mirror can do that. Yes. A larger concave mirror can direct more light back, but then you have to have a 3 foot wide mirror taking up space in the cabin or exposed to the weather outside the car, it would be prone to failure.

    So just aim your rearview at them.

      I was thinking a mirrored surface on the motorized pad near the trunk of vehicle on outside. rear view doesn’t seem to have enough ooomph behind it to be satisfying.

        I’ve always envisioned such a device to be structured like window slat blinds.
        The slats lay horizontal when not in use to minimize view obstruction, and rotate into position on command.
