Abstract: A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a base portion configured for attachment at a side of a vehicle, and a mirror head having a mirror reflective element and an electrically-operable mirror actuator. The base portion extends through an aperture in the mirror head. The base portion includes an electrically-operable powerfold actuator operable to move the mirror head between an extended position and a folded position. The mirror head includes a camera that moves together and in tandem with the mirror head. The camera views exterior and at least sideward of the equipped vehicle. A regulated target region exists at the side of the equipped vehicle. The camera views at least the regulated target region at the side of the equipped vehicle throughout a range of adjustment by the mirror actuator of the mirror head relative to the base portion.

Abstract: A vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head adjustable about a mounting structure configured to mount the mirror assembly at an interior portion of a cabin of a vehicle. The mirror head accommodates an electronic component. When the electronic component is electrically operated, the electronic component generates heat within an interior cavity of the mirror head. An aerogel-infused material is disposed within the interior cavity of the mirror head and thermally conductively connects the electronic component with at least a portion of the mirror casing. The aerogel-infused material, when the electronic component is electrically operated and generates heat within the interior cavity of the mirror head, reduces thermal transfer between the electronic component and at least the portion of the mirror casing.

Abstract: A vehicular vision system includes a rear-viewing camera disposed at a vehicle and viewing at least rearward of the vehicle. Each frame of image data captured by the imaging array of the rear-viewing camera includes a plurality of grids, with each grid of the plurality of grids having a respective set of photosensing elements associated with respective rows and columns of photosensing elements. A electro-optic rearview mirror assembly includes an electro-optic mirror reflective element that is controlled responsive to an ambient light condition and a glare light condition. The ambient light condition is determined by processing at least one first grid of the plurality of grids of the frames of image data captured by the rear-viewing camera. The glare light condition is determined by processing at least one second grid of the plurality of grids of the frames of image data captured by the rear-viewing camera.

Abstract: A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head and a mounting base configured for mounting the mirror assembly at a side of a vehicle. An actuator is operable to move the mirror head relative to the mounting base between at least an extended position and a folded position. The actuator includes a first detent interface and a second detent interface. The first detent interface is engaged when the actuator moves the mirror head to the folded position or the extended position. The second detent interface is not engaged as the actuator moves the mirror head between the folded position and the extended position. The second detent interface is engaged when the mirror head is manually moved to the folded position or the extended position. The first detent interface is not engaged as the mirror head is manually moved between the folded position and the extended position.

Abstract: A vehicular vision system includes a camera disposed at a tailgate of a vehicle. The system, via processing at an electronic control unit (ECU) of image data captured by the camera, generates video images that are displayed at a display device at an interior portion of the vehicle. The tailgate is pivotable between a closed position and an opened position. When the tailgate is in the closed position, the camera views rearward of the vehicle, and when the tailgate is pivoted to the opened position, the camera pivots relative to the tailgate to view rearward of the vehicle with the tailgate in the opened position. The system controls an actuator to pivot the camera relative to the tailgate to adjust a rearward view of the camera based on processing at the ECU of image data captured by the camera.

Abstract: A vehicular sensing system includes a sensing device disposed at a vehicle door of a vehicle. The sensing device includes a sensor element and at least one light emitting diode (LED) disposed at a circuit board. The sensing device is disposed behind a panel of the vehicle door of the vehicle, with the sensor element and the at least one LED being disposed at a light transmitting portion of the panel of the vehicle. The vehicular sensing system, responsive to processing at the controller of captured sensor data when the sensor element and the at least one LED are powered, determines a user input corresponding to a particular location and movement of a user's hand at or near the sensing device. The vehicular sensing system, responsive to determining a particular user input of a plurality of user inputs, provides an output.

Abstract: A vehicular frameless interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head and a mounting portion. The mirror head includes a mirror reflective element and a mirror casing. The mirror reflective element includes a glass substrate having a planar front side and a planar rear side. No portion of the mirror casing overlaps the planar front side of the glass substrate of the mirror reflective element. A camera is disposed within the mirror casing behind the mirror reflective element. With the mounting portion of the mirror assembly mounted at an in-cabin side of a windshield of a vehicle, the camera views a driver of the vehicle, and when the mirror head is moved by the driver to adjust a rearward view of the driver, the camera moves in tandem with movement of the mirror head. The camera is part of a driver monitoring system of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicular video mirror system includes a display device having a video display screen accommodated by a mirror head of an interior rearview mirror assembly. The vehicular video mirror system is operable in a mirror mode or a display mode. A vehicle-mounted rearward-viewing digital camera is disposed at the vehicle and a trailer-mounted rearward-viewing analog camera is disposed at a trailer that is configured to be hitched to the vehicle. With no trailer hitched to the vehicle, and when the vehicular video mirror system operates in the display mode, the video display screen displays video images derived from image data captured by the vehicle-mounted rearward-viewing camera. With the trailer hitched to the vehicle, and when the vehicular video mirror system operates in the display mode, the video display screen displays rearward-view video images derived from image data captured by the trailer-mounted rearward-viewing camera.

Abstract: A system for automatically dispensing a fluid from a deformable container onto a panel includes a primer head having a container receiver and a container deformer, the container receiver receiving and holding a container of primer thereat. An adapter is received into an opening of the container and is secured to a portion of the primer head, and the container is retained at the container receiver of the primer head. A primer tip is disposed at the adapter. With the container held at the container receiver and retained at the primer head, the primer head moves to position the primer tip at the panel. When the primer tip is positioned at the panel, the container deformer automatically operates to deform the container to cause a predetermined amount of primer to be dispensed from the container, through the adapter and to the primer tip and onto the panel.
