Is it possible to emulate mirrors in Gazebo? Specifically, can I simulate the reflection from a car’s side-view mirror? If not, are there any workarounds for mirror emulation.

I remember there was one of the videos for new Gazebo releases in which there were cameras rendered as textures onto objects. That’s basically what you need. Specify the mirror surface as the render texture, and put a camera in the scene that would capture what the mirror should show. The only problem is the “content” of the mirror depends on the viewer’s position. But if you only have a single viewer for which you need the mirror to work, it should be doable.
Regarding particular implementation, I can’t help with that.

thank you for clarification, is this the video that you were referring to
No, I was actually refering to SimSlides like here ROSCon 2016 Seoul Day 1: What’s new in Gazebo? Upgrading your simulation user experience! .
