A visibility enhancement system for a vehicle with heating conduit and a method of making a windshield wiper system where a wiper blade is configured to wipe windshield of the vehicle, a wiper blade assembly holds at least one end of the wiper blade, a motor is configured to move the wiper blade upon activation of the visibility enhancement system, and a heating conduit warms the surface of the windshield of the vehicle. The visibility enhancement system may include a wiper blade to wipe a side window of the vehicle, a pair of wiper blades to wipe a side rearview mirror. The heating conduit may comprise of any of the following: heating filaments that warms the wiper blade; heating filaments running within the windshield; an air vent that runs inside the wiper blade; and an air vent that runs parallel to the wiper blade.

A vehicular door mirror device is provided which includes an engagement claw provided on one of a lamp unit and a mirror housing being engaged with a latching part provided on the other of the lamp unit and the mirror housing, wherein the mirror housing includes a housing main body that has a mirror housing recess part and is pivotably supported by a base member, and a cover that has the slit formed therein and is mounted on the housing main body so as to cover the housing main body from a side opposite to an open direction of the mirror housing recess part, the cover being provided with a restriction part that restricts displacement of the engagement claw toward a direction in which the engagement claw disengages from the latching part. The lamp unit is thus prevented from detaching from the mirror housing even under an external impact.

A system of rear view assemblies for a vehicle includes at least one first rear view assembly mounted to a driver side of the vehicle to observe traffic conditions behind the driver side, at least one second rear view assembly mounted on a passenger side of the vehicle to observe traffic conditions behind the passenger side, and a vision system. A vehicle including such a system is also described.

A vehicle includes a driver sensor provided inside the vehicle and configured to obtain a face image of a driver; a side camera configured to obtain images of a rear left side and a rear right side of the vehicle; a display configured to output the images of the rear left side and the rear right side of the vehicle; and a controller electrically connected to the driver sensor, the side camera, and the display; wherein the controller is configured to identify a gaze direction of the driver based on the face image of the driver, and adjust at least one of a frame rate of the side camera or a screen brightness of the display based on the gaze direction of the driver.

A cleaning system connected to an air suspension system. The disclosed subject matter generally relates to a cleaning system for cleaning a surface of a device of a vehicle by means of applying an air jet to the surface. The proposed cleaning system is adapted to be combined with an air suspension system in such a way that the cleaning system receives exhaust air from the air suspension system which air may be used for cleaning of device surfaces. Thus, the proposed cleaning system can receive exhaust air from the air suspension system and apply the air to the device surface via nozzles without the need for a source of air dedicated to the cleaning system.

A vehicular vision system includes a camera having a housing and a lens barrel including a lens. The camera is configured to be disposed at an exterior portion of a vehicle so as to have a field of view exterior of the vehicle. An image processor is operable to process frames of image data captured by the camera. A heating device is disposed at or near the lens and is activated to initially heat the lens responsive to determination, via processing by the image processor of a frame of captured image data, of a threshold degree of lens occlusion at the lens. The heating device is (i) deactivated responsive to determination that the determined lens occlusion is not water or moisture, or (ii) further powered to increase the heating function responsive to determination that the determined occlusion is water or moisture.

A vehicle rearview mirror assembly is provided, including: a casing including a first shell body and a mounting board having an attachment portion with an aperture; a mirror attached to the mounting board and including a light-penetrable patterned portion spatially corresponding to the aperture; a light emitting module mounted to the attachment portion and including a second shell body, a light guide and a light source, the second shell body including an insertion slot therethrough, the light source being inserted through the insertion slot and engaged within the second shell body, and a binding member securing the light emitting module to the second shell body and sealing the insertion slot.
