My wife and I went on a road trip for the 2017 eclipse. At one point she was driving around and I was goofing around in the passenger seat with our eclipse glasses.
Couldn't see shit through them, I could see the sun, maybe just barely the vague outlines of certain big things off the side of the road if they were in full sun
I could absolutely see the sun glinting off of every bit of chrome on cars that drove past though. Couldn't see the cars themselves, just a brief little flash of light.
Kind of made me wonder what kind of cumulative eye damage you might get from millions of small flashes from chrome bits on cars over your lifetime. It could very well be negligible, I'm certainly no eye doctor.
My wife and I went to see the eclipse (it as our honey moon, literally) a few months ago and I had an identical experience xD
"Holy shit, are these laser-beams of sun cutting across the back of my eyeballs all the time?"
Mind you, it's anything shiny, not just chrome, but why add to the problem?
