Abstract: A system is configured to reduce glare form a trailing vehicle. The system may include a forward facing light sensor, partially enclosed in an interior mirror housing. This forward facing light sensor is configured to detect ambient light, such that the system can determine a day time condition or a nighttime condition. The system may also include rear facing light sensors, each included in separate mirror assemblies. Based upon an ambient light detected and a glare of a trailing vehicle, the system may be configured to change the reflectance of an electro-optic element in order to reduce glare independently in the separate mirror assemblies.

Abstract translation: 一种系统被配置为减少尾部车辆的眩光。 该系统可以包括部分地封装在内部反射镜壳体中的前向光传感器。 该向前的光传感器被配置为检测环境光，使得系统可以确定日间时间状况或夜间状况。 该系统还可以包括后面的光传感器，每个包括在单独的反射镜组件中。 基于检测到的环境光和后方车辆的眩光，该系统可以被配置为改变电光元件的反射率，以便在分离的镜组件中独立地减少眩光。
