If we can do plasma deposition for cheap mirror reflective sunglasses with polycarbonate, why aren’t these materials commonly used?

The OP said cost. A 16" glass mirror is $1400. Adding $20 of microcontrollers, heaters and sensors to a $100 plastic mirror could be extremely interesting.
There is also a weight savings which makes the rest of the design easier.
