A vehicle may include a side mirror including a housing and a mirror member provided inside the housing and rotatable in a first axis and a second axis in the housing; an input unit configured to receive an identification information related to a driver; a driving apparatus configured to identify a target position corresponding to the identification information related to the driver, acquire a plurality of paths for moving the mirror member between the identified target position and the current position, identify each of positions for switching the movement direction of the acquired plurality of paths, select a path having positions for switching the movement direction closest to a predetermined center position among the respective positions for switching the movement direction thereof, and selectively control rotation of the first axis and rotation of the second axis of the mirror member based on the selected path.

An exterior rearview mirror system for a vehicle includes an exterior mirror assembly having a skull-cap mirror shell that includes an inboard wall that faces generally toward an exterior driver-side of the equipped vehicle and that is viewable by a driver of the equipped vehicle. A blind spot indicator is disposed at an aperture established at the inboard wall of the skull-cap mirror shell and provides a viewing area of at least two square centimeters. An illumination source of the blind spot indicator is activated responsive to detection by a blind spot detection system of the equipped vehicle of presence of a rearward approaching or overtaking equipped vehicle. Illumination of the blind spot indicator by activation of the illumination source is readily viewable by the driver of the equipped vehicle and is generally not viewable by a driver of a vehicle forward of the equipped vehicle.

A vehicle side mirror includes a base member and a mirror housing movably connected to the base member. The mirror housing includes a mirror and a mounting bracket connected to the base member and configured to mount the vehicle side mirror to a door panel of a vehicle. The mounting bracket includes a pivot surface on which the mounting bracket is configured to pivot with respect to a door panel of the vehicle. A flexible attachment member is configured to secure the mounting bracket to the door panel after being pivoted on the pivot surface.

A motor vehicle has at least one electronic rearview mirror, particularly an exterior and/or side mirror, that has a display apparatus, particularly a display, for images recorded by an exterior camera that is provided particularly outside the motor vehicle. The operator control element provided for adjusting an image detail from the image, which image detail is to be displayed on the display apparatus, and/or an orientation for the exterior camera is a mirror operator control element, developed for the purpose of adjusting a mirror face of a conventional exterior mirror, and/or a rotary/push control of a man/machine interface.

An external mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a support arm adapted to be affixed to an associated vehicle side door, and a housing movably mounted to the support arm. A glass assembly is secured to the housing. A flexible defector is mounted to the housing and surrounding a portion of the support arm received in the housing. The deflector has a stepped configuration allowing for stretching of the deflector as the housing is moved relative to the support arm and to reduce wind noise through a gap between the support arm portion and the housing.
