REAR VISION SYSTEM WITH AUTOMATIC BLIND ZONE AND GLARE ELIMINATION FUNCTION

摘要

A system for automatically changing the position of the side mirrors of a vehicle between a blind zone side mirror setting position and a blind zone/glare elimination (BGE) side mirror setting position in response to actuation of a switch. From the angle of the driver side mirror an equation can be used to determine the distance between the driver side mirror and the vehicle operator's eyes. Based on the angle of the driver side mirror, the system will know whether the driver set the driver side mirror for the blind zone setting method or the BGE setting method. If the vehicle operator actuates the switch, then the system will use the distance from the vehicle operator's eyes to the driver side mirror to set the angle for the other of the blind zone setting method or the BGE setting method based on predetermined equations.
