A vehicle including a system for obtaining information about occupants of the vehicle including a rear-view mirror including a mirror part and a support for mounting the mirror part to the vehicle (such as to a windshield of the vehicle), a wave-receiving system arranged on the mirror for receiving waves from spaces above seats of the vehicle in which occupants would normally be situated and a processor coupled to the wave-receiving system and arranged to obtain information about the occupants based on the waves received by the wave-receiving system. The wave-receiving system may include an infrared receiver, a transmitter/receiver capable of transmitting and receiving waves, an ultrasonic wave receiver and/or an array for displaying infrared light reflected from or generated by the occupants. Based on the waves received by the wave-receiving system, the processor may identify or ascertain the identity of the occupants, determine the position or movement of the occupants and/or determine the distance between the wave-receiving system and the occupants. The processor may embody a pattern recognition system for obtaining information about the occupants based on training designed to create an algorithm capable of processing data on the waves received by the wave-receiving system into information about the occupants.
