The invention discloses an intelligent safety type rearview mirror. The intelligent safety type rearview mirror comprises a shell and a lens, the lens is arranged on the shell, and an intelligent control device is arranged in the shell; and a distance detecting mechanism, an automatic bending mechanism and a control mechanism are arranged in the intelligent control device, and the distance detecting mechanism and the automatic bending mechanism are connected with the control mechanism. According to the intelligent safety type rearview mirror, the distance detecting mechanism is arranged to detect obstacles around the rearview mirror; when the situations that the obstacles exist around the rearview mirror and the distance between the obstacles and the rearview mirror enters the safety distance value range are detected by the distance detecting mechanism, a controller module in a control device orders a warning control module to begin to work; a warning mechanism is controlled through the warning control module to begin to conduct warning and warn a driver; and when the condition is dangerous, the controller module orders the automatic bending mechanism to fold the rearview mirror, full automation of folding of the rearview mirror is achieved, and travelling safety is improved.
