VEHICULAR EXTERIOR REARVIEW MIRROR ASSEMBLY WITH EXTENDABLE AND RETRACTABLE MIRROR HEAD
A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mounting arm configured for attachment at a side of a vehicle and a mirror head having a mirror reflective element. With the mounting arm attached at the side of the vehicle, the mirror reflective element is oriented to provide a driver of the vehicle a field of view rearward and sideward of the vehicle when the mirror head is in a retracted position and when the mirror head is in an extended position. With the mounting arm attached at the side of the vehicle, and when the mirror head is moved along the mounting arm, angle of the mirror head relative to the side of the vehicle at which the vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly is attached adjusts to provide the driver of the vehicle the field of view rearward and sideward of the vehicle.

QUICK SWAP SENSOR POD AND BRACKET SYSTEM
A quick swap sensor pod for a truck having an arm having a protrusion with a lower surface, a pin receiving opening extending through the protrusion to the lower surface, the pin receiving opening having a depth and aligned vertically, and a conduit connector within the arm for coupling a conduit to the quick swap sensor pod. The arm is configured to rotate about an axis of the pin receiving opening between an initial position and a final position. In both the initial position and the final position, the depth of the pin receiving opening is configured to counteract a moment created by a weight of the quick swap sensor pod and the lower surface is configured to support the weight of the quick swap sensor pod.

Mirror Extension Arm for a Wide-Load Truck
A mirror extension arm for a wide-load truck is an apparatus that allows a driver of the wide-load truck to have a wider peripheral vision range and eliminates blind spots. The apparatus includes an extension tube, a slide bar, a mounting spindle, at least one locking clamp, and a fastening mechanism. The extension bar and the slide bar offset a secondary side mirror from a corresponding side of the wide-load truck. The secondary side mirror is preferably positioned beside an existing side mirror. The extension bar connects with a bracket of the existing side mirror, and the slide bar varies the distance of the secondary side mirror and existing side mirror. The mounting spindle upholds the secondary side mirror. The at least one locking clamp attaches the extension bar with the bracket of the existing side mirror. The fastening mechanism locks the slide bar along the extension tube.
Mirror assembly
A mirror assembly can comprise a blind spot mirror hingedly linked to other structures. Through various means, the mirror assembly can be placed and the blind spot mirror adjusted so as to provide a user with enhanced visibility into the blind spot of a vehicle.

Devices, systems, and methods for calibrating a vehicle mirror assembly
A system is disclosed and includes a vehicle. The vehicle includes a plurality of sensors including a first set and a second set. The vehicle includes a mirror assembly that includes a mirror body and one or more actuators that are actuable to move the mirror assembly between an extended position and a retracted position. The second set is positioned on the mirror assembly. The vehicle includes a controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors and the one or more actuators, and the controller causes the one or more actuators to adjust a position of the mirror body based on information received from the first set. The controller selectively activates the second set based on the position of the mirror body. The controller calibrates the second set of the plurality of sensors while the position of the mirror body is being set to the extended position.
