<p>The present invention relates to the field of vehicle rearview mirrors. In particular, it relates to a computer-implemented method for configuring a rearview mirror 2,3 to be mounted externally on a vehicle 1, a rearview mirror 2,3 configured accordingly, and a method for producing this rearview mirror 2,3. The configuration method comprises the steps of determining position and shape of at least one pair of eyellipses 6a,6b,6c for a predetermined driver population, determining, for each driver of a statistically representative sample of said driver population, field of view preferences including a preferred horizon height and vehicle body visibility in the rearview mirror 2,3, and calculating, for at least one predetermined external mounting position of the rearview mirror (2,3), a minimum mirror angle adjustment range suitable for covering, from a plurality of outermost points 7,8,9,10 of said at least one pair of eyellipses 6a,6b,6c, field of view preferences of predetermined minimum subsets of said driver population sample.</p> |
