Vehicular driver monitoring system with driver monitoring camera and near IR light emitter at interior rearview mirror assembly

A vehicular driver monitoring system, the vehicular driver monitoring system comprising:

• a vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly comprising a mirror head adjustably attached at a mounting base, the mounting base configured to attach at an interior portion of a vehicle equipped with the vehicular driver monitoring system;
• wherein the mirror head comprises a mirror reflective element;
• wherein the mirror head accommodates electronic circuitry;
• a driver monitoring camera accommodated by the mirror head, wherein the driver monitoring camera moves in tandem with the mirror head when, with the mounting base attached at the interior portion of the vehicle, the mirror head is adjusted relative to the mounting base to adjust a rearward view of a driver of the vehicle;
• a first near infrared light emitter and a second near infrared light emitter accommodated within the mirror head, wherein the first and second near infrared light emitters move in tandem with the mirror head when, with the mounting base attached at the interior portion of the vehicle, the mirror head is adjusted relative to the mounting base to adjust the driver's rearward view;
• wherein the first near infrared light emitter is accommodated within the mirror head so that a beam of light emitted by the first near infrared light emitter is directed toward a driver's region of a left hand drive vehicle when the vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly is installed in the left hand drive vehicle and is adjusted by the driver of the vehicle to set the driver's rearward view;
• wherein the second near infrared light emitter is accommodated within the mirror head so that a beam of light emitted by the second near infrared light emitter, when electrically powered to emit light, is directed toward a driver's region of a right hand drive vehicle when the vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly is installed in the right hand drive vehicle and is adjusted by the driver of the vehicle to set the driver's rearward view;
• wherein, when the vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly is installed or will be installed in a left hand drive vehicle, the first near infrared light emitter, when electrically powered to emit light, emits light for a driver monitoring function;
• and
• wherein, when the vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly is installed or will be installed in a right hand drive vehicle, the second near infrared light emitter, when electrically powered to emit light, emits light for the driver monitoring function.
