VEHICULAR CAMERA WITH THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL DISPOSED BETWEEN AND CONTACTING STACKED PCBS
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.
IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE
An image capturing device is provided. The image capturing device includes a base, a cable, a restriction bushing and a sealing material. The base includes a base through hole and a base inner surface, wherein the base through hole is formed on the base inner surface. The cable passes through the base through hole. The restriction bushing surrounds the cable, wherein the restriction bushing abuts the base inner surface, and is connected to the base through hole. The sealing material is disposed in the base and covers the restriction bushing, wherein at least a portion of the cable is covered by the sealing material.

Vehicular camera with pliable connection of PCBS
A vehicular camera configured to be disposed at a vehicle so as to have a field of view exterior of the vehicle includes a lens holder, an imager printed circuit board, a connector printed circuit board and a rear housing. The circuitry of the imager printed circuit board is electrically connected to the circuitry of the connector printed circuit board via a flexible electrical connector. The imager printed circuit board has an imager disposed at a side thereof and is attached to the lens holder with the imager side facing the lens. The imager printed circuit board and the connector printed circuit board are joined together via a pliable material. The rear housing is mated with the lens holder to encase the imager printed circuit board and the connector printed board.

Dynamic vehicle mirror adjustment
In general, techniques are described by which a computing system dynamically and automatically adjusts an orientation of one or more mirrors of a vehicle. A computing system includes at least one processor and memory. The memory includes instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to determine a current orientation of a mirror of a vehicle and determine a preferred orientation of the mirror based upon a set of data points. Execution of the instructions also causes the at least one processor to output a command to adjust the mirror to the preferred orientation in response to determining the current orientation is not the preferred orientation.
Systems And Methods For Controlling Vehicle Seat Position
Systems and methods for controlling vehicle seat position are disclosed herein. An example device can be configured to determine seat configuration parameters of a seat of a vehicle, determine seat weight distribution of a user, automatically adjust the seat configuration parameters in such a way that the seat weight distribution changes as the user is operating the vehicle, and automatically adjust a mirror position of the mirror of the vehicle in response to the automatic adjustment of the seat configuration parameters.

INTERIOR REARVIEW MIRROR ASSEMBLY WITH DRIVER MONITORING SYSTEM
A vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head adjustably attached at a mounting base configured to attach at an interior portion of a vehicle. A driver monitoring camera is accommodated by the mirror head so as to move in tandem with the mirror head when the mirror head is adjusted relative to the mounting base to adjust a driver's rearward view. A forward viewing camera is accommodated by the mounting base so as to have a forward field of view through the vehicle windshield. A processor is operable to process image data captured by the driver monitoring camera to determine (i) driver attentiveness, (ii) driver drowsiness and/or (iii) driver gaze direction. The processor adjusts processing of the image data captured by the driver monitoring camera to accommodate adjustment of the mirror head when the driver adjusts the mirror head to adjust his or her rearward view.
INTERIOR REARVIEW MIRROR SYSTEM WITH AMBIENT LIGHT DETECTION
A vehicular interior rearview mirror system includes an interior rearview mirror assembly having a mirror head adjustably mounted at a mounting structure. The mirror head includes a mirror casing and an electro-optic variable reflectance mirror reflective element. A glare light sensor senses glare light emanating from headlights of another vehicle rearward of the equipped vehicle. An ambient light sensor senses ambient light at the vehicle. The ambient light sensor comprises part of a rain sensing device disposed at an in-cabin side of a windshield of the vehicle. Mirror control circuitry is operable to adjust dimming of the mirror reflective element responsive to an output from the glare light sensor and an output from the ambient light sensor. Responsive to the output from the glare light sensor and the output from the ambient light sensor, the mirror control circuitry controls dimming of the mirror reflective element.
