A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head accommodating a mirror reflective element. The mirror head is adjustably mounted at a mounting base configured for attachment at a side of a vehicle. A plurality of cameras are disposed at the mounting base and includes (i) a rearward viewing camera that views at least rearward of the vehicle and (ii) a downward viewing camera that views at least downward. The mirror head accommodates an electronic accessory. A wire harness passing through the mounting base to the mirror head includes individual wires that terminate at respective first, second, and third electrical connectors. The accessory is electrically connected to a power source of the vehicle via the first connector. The rearward and downward viewing cameras respectively connect to the second and third connectors to receive electrical power from the power source and provide image data to an electronic control unit.

A support for connecting a rear-view mirror to a vehicle, including on vehicles suitable for towing a trailer, includes a connecting device to the vehicle, a supporting device of the rear-view mirror, and a device to movably connect the supporting device to the vehicle, which connecting deice allows the supporting device to be moved to any position between a respective retracted position, with respect to the connection device, particularly in which the rear-view mirror is nearest to the vehicle, and a respective extended position, with respect to the same connecting device, particularly in which the same rear-view mirror is furthest from the same vehicle, wherein the connecting device has a plurality of pairs of surfaces for a slidable engagement to corresponding pairs of surfaces of the connecting device.

The optical assembly disclosed in the embodiment includes a housing having an inclined bottom surface, a plurality of inner surfaces around an outer periphery of the bottom surface, and a receiving space in which an upper portion is opened; and a lighting module disposed on the inclined bottom surface, wherein the lighting module includes a substrate inclinedly disposed on the inclined bottom surface; at least one light emitting device disposed on the substrate; and a resin layer sealing the light emitting device and the substrate, wherein an upper surface of the resin layer emits light by diffusing light emitted from the light emitting device, wherein the plurality of inner surfaces includes a first inner surface adjacent to the light emitting device, a second inner surface facing the first inner surface, and third and fourth inner surfaces facing each other and disposed between the first and second inner surfaces, wherein a height between the bottom surface of the housing and an upper surface of the housing increases from the first inner surface toward the second inner surface, and decreases from the third inner surface toward the fourth inner surface.

A side view mirror assembly includes a base frame configured to couple to a bracket that is connected to a vehicle static structure. The base frame interfacing with the bracket through a guide that is at least partially received within a pocket when the base frame is coupled to the bracket. A mirror housing assembly is adjustably supported by the base frame.

A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror reflective element subassembly having a mirror reflective element, a mirror reflector coating, a mirror back plate, and indicator element. The indicator element includes a circuit board and a light source. The indicator element includes a diffuser that diffuses light emitted by the light source. An icon is established through a metallic reflector coating disposed at the glass substrate. The icon includes a light-transmitting aperture. With the vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly attached at the vehicle, and when the light source is activated, light emitted by the light source passes through a light-transmitting portion of a heater pad and through the light-transmitting aperture of the icon. With the vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly attached at the vehicle and when the light source is activated, the icon is illuminated and is viewable by the driver of the vehicle.

A vehicle rearview warning system has a rearview-mirror monitor, a front image-capturing device outputting a front driving image, a rear image-capturing device outputting a rear driving image, and an edge computing device signally connected to the rearview-mirror monitor, the front image-capturing device, and the rear image-capturing device. The edge computing device receives the front driving image and the rear driving image respectively, recognizes a vehicle object from the front driving image or the rear driving image, and determines whether to activate the rearview-mirror monitor to display a warning image according to the vehicle object.

An assembly includes a head assembly for an external rear view device to be attached to a motor vehicle, a lower casing element, an upper casing element, an articulation assembly, a bezel assembly for carrying at least one rear view element, and a hinge connection between the bezel assembly and a first sub assembly provided by at least the lower casing, the articulation assembly and attachment means with the articulation assembly being mounted on the attachment means or the attachment means being mounted on the articulation assembly.

A mirror assembly for vehicle is disclosed. The mirror assembly includes a housing, a retaining rim, and a mirror lens that is secured between the housing and the retaining rim. In one embodiment, the mirror has a visual indicator mounted to the retaining rim or housing. When an object or pedestrian is detected in a lane next to or in front of a vehicle, the visual indicator provides light signals or other type of warning to an operator driving the vehicle. In one embodiment, the mirror assembly has a speaker mounted to the housing. When an object or pedestrian is detected in a lane next to or in front of the vehicle, the speaker provides audio signals to warn an operator driving the vehicle. In another embodiment, the mirror assembly includes a housing, a shield attached to the housing, a mirror lens, and a visual indicator securely located, for example, in a channel of the shield, retaining rim and/or housing.

The disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for providing a display pertaining to a vehicle payload. An example method executed by a processor of a vehicle payload display system includes determining a weight of a payload placed upon the vehicle and displaying upon a ground surface outside the vehicle and/or upon a windshield of the vehicle, an image that provides an indication of the weight of the payload placed upon the vehicle. Another example method executed by the processor includes obtaining information about a laden weight of the vehicle, determining a weight difference between the laden weight and a payload capacity of the vehicle, determining, based on the weight difference, a payload margin available for loading the vehicle or an excess weight loaded upon the vehicle, and displaying the payload margin or the first excess weight upon a display surface that is viewable from outside the vehicle.
