Automatic mirror adjustment system for vehicle

A method of operating an automatic mirror adjustment system in a vehicle having a controller with a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory, and one or more mirror assemblies each with a respective mirror, the method comprising:

• obtaining vision data in real-time of a driver seated in a vehicle seat, via a tracking device in communication with controller, the respective mirror being movable along at least two dimensions from an initial mirror setting;
• determining a respective spatial location of an ocular reference point of the driver based in part on the vision data;
• obtaining the respective spatial location of a predefined reference point on the vehicle seat;
• obtaining the respective spatial location of the tracking device;
• determining an optimal mirror orientation for the respective mirror based in part on the respective spatial location of the tracking device, the ocular reference point, and the predefined reference point on the vehicle seat, via the controller;
• and
• executing control commands to adjust the respective mirror to the optimal mirror orientation, via the controller.

A vehicle comprising:

• an automatic mirror adjustment system for a driver seated in a vehicle seat, the vehicle having one or more mirror assemblies each having a respective mirror;
• a tracking device configured to obtain vision data of the driver in real time, the respective mirror being movable along at least two dimensions from an initial mirror setting, the driver being;
• a controller with a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory on which instructions are recorded, the controller being adapted to receive the vision data;
• wherein the controller is adapted to:
• determine a respective spatial location of an ocular reference point of the driver based in part on the vision data;
• obtain the respective spatial location of a predefined reference point on the vehicle seat;
• obtain the respective spatial location of the tracking device;
• determine an optimal mirror orientation for the respective mirror based in part on the respective spatial location of the tracking device, the ocular reference point, and the predefined reference point on the vehicle seat;
• and
• execute control commands to adjust the respective mirror to the optimal mirror orientation.
