Abstract: A vehicular driver monitoring system includes an interior rearview mirror assembly having a mirror head accommodating a mirror reflective element and adjustable about a mounting structure. The mirror head is adjustable relative to the mounting structure to adjust a rearward view provided by the mirror reflective element. A driver monitoring camera is accommodated by the mirror head behind the mirror reflective element. With the mirror head adjusted to provide the rearward view, a normal vector extending perpendicular to the mirror reflective element is directed toward a driver side of the cabin of the vehicle and, responsive to determination that a passenger is present at a passenger side of the cabin of the vehicle, a principal viewing axis of the driver monitoring camera is angled more toward a centerline axis of the vehicle than the normal vector of the mirror reflective element.

Abstract: A vehicular cabin monitoring system includes an interior rearview mirror assembly having a mirror head adjustable relative to a mounting structure. A camera is accommodated by and moves with the mirror head when the mirror head is adjusted. A first subset of image data captured by the camera is processed for monitoring the driver of the vehicle. A spectrally reflecting mirror element is disposed within the interior cabin and spaced from the rearview mirror. The mirror element spectrally reflects light toward the camera that is representative of an obstructed region within the interior cabin not directly viewable by the camera. The mirror element is disposed at an accessory module of the vehicle. A second subset of image data is representative of light reflected from the mirror element. The cabin monitoring system determines presence of an object within the obstructed region based on processing of the second subset of image data.

Abstract: A vehicular electrochromic rearview mirror assembly includes a mounting structure and a mirror head. The mirror head accommodates an electrochromic mirror reflective element including front and rear glass substrates and an electrochromic medium disposed therebetween. The medium conductively contacts a transparent conductive coating at a second side of the front substrate and a conductive coating at a third side of the rear substrate. A conductive connector is disposed at a fourth side of the rear substrate and conductively connects to a conductive material along a perimeter region of the second side and the conductive coating at the third side. The perimeter region extends beyond an outer peripheral edge of the rear substrate. The conductive material is established in a zigzag pattern along the perimeter region so portions of the zigzag pattern are inboard and other portions are outboard of the edge of the rear substrate.

Abstract: A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head adjustably disposed at a mounting structure. An electro-optic reflective element is attached at an attachment element that attaches at an electrically powered actuator disposed in the mirror head. The attachment element includes a protruding portion that is at least partially received at a notched region of the rear glass substrate when the reflective element is disposed at the attachment element. An outer surface of the protruding portion of the attachment element corresponds with the second perimeter edge of the rear glass substrate at the notched region of the rear glass substrate. With the electro-optic reflective element disposed at the mirror head, the outer surface of the protruding portion provides a curved transition from an outer surface of the mirror head toward the first surface of the front glass substrate.
