Concave mirrors are used in the headlights of a car.

When a bulb is placed at the focus of a concave reflector, the reflector collects the light rays and direct them into a powerful beam (in form of parallel rays) after reflection. Such beam can reach a large distance in dark and enable vision up to greater distances.
