A mirror assembly can include a housing, a mirror, and a light source. In certain embodiments, the mirror is rotatable within a support portion of the mirror assembly. In some embodiments, the mirror assembly is configured to use an audio sensor or an audio signal derived from an audio sensor, such as an audio sensor or audio signal configured to sense or to correspond to or to represent one or more voice commands or other sounds (e.g., clapping, snapping, or otherwise) received from a user, in order to actuate or adjust any of one or more features or settings of the mirror assembly.

Provided is an input unit to which input signals are inputted, the input signals including signals indicating operating states of switches used for operating the electronic mirror and used for selecting a display mode from among the plurality of display modes to be displayed by the electronic mirror; a storage unit that together with prioritizing and storing each of a plurality of display modes in a hierarchical structure, stores mode setting conditions that are conditions for setting each display mode; a determination unit for determining whether or not the mode setting conditions are satisfied for each of the plurality of display modes based on the input signals; and a setting unit that, of the plurality of display modes, sets a display mode from among the display modes for which the mode setting conditions are satisfied, as a display mode to be displayed on the electronic mirror.

A rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror element including a first substrate having a first surface and a second surface. A reflector is disposed adjacent to one of the first and second surfaces. The rearview mirror assembly further includes a lighting subassembly includes a light source and a diffuser. The light source is operable to project light through the mirror element. The diffuser is disposed between the light source and the mirror element. The light source comprises a plurality of micro light-emitting diodes arranged in a light shape representing a display icon such that the display icon is projected through the mirror element without any influence on the shape caused by any other component of the mirror element.

The present disclosure refers to a base assembly of an exterior rear view device. The base assembly is configured to be mounted to a vehicle in a way that moveably supports a head assembly of the exterior rearview device. The base assembly comprises: a camera with a lens, a cleaning system with a nozzle for dispensing cleaning fluid onto the lens, a base frame, a base cover that comprises a plurality of cover pieces, and a camera cradle. The cover pieces provide a first opening for the lens and a second opening for the nozzle. The camera cradle is mounted to the base frame for holding both the camera and the nozzle.

An apparatus and method for controlling driving of a vehicle are provided and the apparatus includes a lamp that projects a lamp light onto one of a left floor surface or a right floor surface of the vehicle, a camera that obtains an image of an area onto which the lamp light is projected, and a controller that determines whether to output a warning based on the image of the area onto which the lamp light is projected when the lamp light is projected onto a boundary stone located around at least one of the left floor surface or the right floor surface of the vehicle.

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 vehicular frameless interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head and a mounting portion. The mirror head includes a mirror reflective element and a mirror casing. The mirror reflective element includes a glass substrate having a planar front side and a planar rear side. No portion of the mirror casing overlaps the planar front side of the glass substrate of the mirror reflective element. A camera is disposed within the mirror casing. With the mounting portion of the mirror assembly mounted at an in-cabin side of a windshield of a vehicle, the camera views a driver of the vehicle, and when the mirror head is moved by the driver of the vehicle to adjust the rearward view provided by the mirror reflective element to the driver, the camera moves in tandem with movement of the mirror head. The camera is part of a driver monitoring system of the vehicle.

An exterior rearview mirror assembly for mounting at a vehicle includes a base portion configured for attachment at a side of the vehicle, and a mirror head having a mirror reflective element, an attachment plate and an electrically-operable mirror actuator. The base portion extends through an aperture in the mirror head. The mirror actuator is attached at the attachment plate, which includes wall structure that extends from the front side of the attachment plate and that circumscribes and spans a perimeter circumferential edge of a glass substrate of the mirror reflective element. The mirror actuator is electrically operable to adjust the mirror head relative to the base portion. The aperture allows for movement of the mirror head relative to the base portion during operation of the mirror actuator.

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.
