Abstract:
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.
