electrochrome
I suspect this is what they mean (usually <<électrochrome>> in French. They are the mirrors that dim automatically to stop the driver being blinded by the headlights of the car behind.
Example sentence:
Electrochrome inside mirror To avoid any risk of being dazzled, the rear view mirror becomes tinted if the light level decreases. ...
Discussion
