Provided are systems for switchable wheel view mirrors, which can selectively provide views of one or more wheels of a vehicle to, for example, check for obstructions. A system for a switchable wheel view mirror can include an image sensor coupled to a vehicle, a reflective surface, and an actuator. The image sensor can capture an image within a field of view of the image sensor. The reflective surface can be coupled to the actuator which moves the reflective surface between a first position and a second position. In the first position, a view of at least a portion of a wheel of the vehicle is visible within the reflective surface and the reflective surface is disposed at least partially within the field of view of the image sensor. Methods and computer program products are also provided.

An interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mounting structure configured for mounting at an interior portion of a vehicle. A distal end portion of the mounting arm is at an angle relative to a proximal end portion of the mounting arm at the interior portion of the vehicle. An attaching element is fixedly disposed at the distal end portion. A mirror housing includes an aperture, and the mounting arm of the mounting structure passes through the aperture without making contact with the mirror housing. A reflective element is attached at an attachment plate disposed within the mirror housing. A motorized actuator is mounted at the attachment plate at the reflective element or at the attaching element at the distal end portion of the mounting arm. The motorized actuator is electrically operable to adjust the reflective element and the mirror housing together and in tandem relative to the mounting structure.

A vehicular camera includes a lens holder, a plurality of printed circuit boards and a housing portion. The individual printed circuit boards are stacked and overlap one another. Circuitry disposed at a first printed circuit board is electrically connected with circuitry disposed at a second printed circuit board via board-to-board electrical connection. The first side of the first printed circuit board is adhesively bonded to the lens holder via cured adhesive. Thermally conductive material is disposed between and is in thermally-conductive contact with the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board. A first electrical connector is disposed at the second printed circuit board and electrically connects with a second electrical connector of an electrical connector portion of the housing portion as the housing portion is being joined with the lens holder to encase the plurality of printed circuit boards during assembly of the vehicular camera.

Provision of a sense of distance by motion parallax is easily realized. A display image is obtained by superimposing an image showing a vehicle on a captured image obtained by capturing an image on a rear side from the vehicle. For example, the image showing the vehicle is a computer graphics image. For example, a change is made in a superimposed positional relationship between the captured image and the image showing the vehicle in accordance with motion of a viewpoint of a driver. Since the display image is not only made from the captured image obtained by capturing an image on a rear side from the vehicle, but the display image is obtained by superimposing the image showing the vehicle on the captured image, it is possible to easily provide a sense of distance by motion parallax.

A vehicle periphery display device includes: an image acquisition unit that acquires a captured image from an imaging unit that images a periphery of a vehicle; and a control unit that causes a display unit to display a three-dimensional image representing the vehicle and a periphery of the vehicle based on the captured image, from a viewpoint which is located on a side opposite to a candidate of a target parking position with respect to a position of the vehicle and which faces a far side of the candidate of the target parking position, in a case where the target parking position for parking the vehicle is set.

A vehicle mirror system for a vehicle coupled to a trailer is provided. The vehicle mirror system includes first and second mirror assemblies configured to be located on first and second sides of the vehicle, a trailer angle sensor for sensing a hitch angle between the trailer and the vehicle, and a controller for controlling actuation of the first mirror assembly to control a first viewing window of the first mirror assembly for a driver of the vehicle, wherein the first mirror assembly is adjusted to redirect the viewing window to track a feature on the trailer as the trailer articulates relative to the vehicle based on the hitch angle. The second mirror assembly may be controlled to move inwards and downwards.

A device for displaying lateral rear images of a vehicle using a room mirror for a vehicle, includes: a smart room mirror 10 equipped with a camera sensor 11 for recognizing a driver's gesture and a motion sensor 12 for recognizing a driver's 3D gesture; camera modules 310, 410 for capturing vehicle lateral rear images, installed in left and right side-view mirrors 30, 40 of a vehicle 20; and a central processing device 60 for controlling to store, compare and analyze image information from the camera modules 310, 410 installed in the left and right side-view mirrors 30, 40, respectively, and image information from the camera sensor 11 and the motion sensor 12 of the smart room mirror 10, the central processing device 60 controlling to access a black box 50 and a communication module 51 and receive images stored in the black box 50.

A vehicular vision system includes a camera disposed within a cabin of a vehicle equipped with the vehicular vision system and positionable to view within an interior cabin of the vehicle and positionable to view exterior of the vehicle through at least one window of the vehicle. The system includes an actuator disposed at the vehicle and electrically operable to rotate the camera about an axis relative to the vehicle. Multiple frames of image data captured by the camera as the camera rotates about the axis are processed at an ECU for a plurality of vehicle functions. Respective frames of image data of the multiple frames of captured image data are processed for respective vehicle functions of the plurality of vehicle functions based on respective viewing directions of the camera when the respective frames of image data are captured by the camera.
