Abstract: A vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mounting structure configured for mounting at an interior portion of a vehicle. The mounting structure includes a mounting arm that has (i) a proximal end portion and (ii) a distal end portion distal from the proximal end portion. With the mounting structure mounted at the interior portion of the vehicle, the proximal end portion of the mounting arm is attached at the interior portion of the vehicle. A motorized actuator is disposed within a mirror housing that accommodates a reflective element. The motorized actuator is electrically operable to adjust the reflective element and the mirror housing together and in tandem relative to the mounting structure to provide a desired rearward field of view to a driver of the vehicle when the vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly is mounted and operated in the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicular vision system includes a rear-viewing camera disposed at a vehicle and viewing at least rearward of the vehicle. Video images derived from frames of image data captured by a CMOS imaging array of the rear-viewing camera during a driving maneuver are displayed at a video display screen within the vehicle for viewing by a driver of the vehicle. An electro-optic rearview mirror assembly includes an electro-optic mirror reflective element. An electronic control unit (ECU) disposed at the vehicle includes a processor operable to process captured frames of image data. The ECU determines, via processing by the processor of frames of image data captured by the CMOS imaging array of the rear-viewing camera, glaring light emanating from a rearward approaching vehicle rearward of the vehicle. The ECU controls dimming of the electro-optic mirror reflective element based at least on part on the determined glaring light.

The interior portion of the handle portion includes a first zone and a second zone separated from the first zone by a thermally insulating barrier. The radar unit is disposed at and generates heat at the first zone of the interior portion of the handle portion. The heat dissipating element includes a heat pipe. A first end of the heat pipe is in thermal conductivity with the radar unit within the first zone, and a second end of the heat pipe distal from the first end is disposed in the second zone. The heat pipe is configured to dissipate heat from the first zone to the second zone.

Abstract: A vehicular lighted exterior rearview mirror system includes a lighted exterior rearview mirror assembly for mounting at a side of a vehicle. A light module is disposed at the lighted exterior rearview mirror assembly. The light module includes at least three illumination sources linearly arranged at a circuit board. When the at least three illumination sources are individually actuated, light emitted by each individual illumination source is emitted outboard away from the side of the vehicle. When the at least three illumination sources are actuated responsive to a first input, the light module emits light in a first pattern. With the lighted exterior rearview mirror assembly mounted at the side of the vehicle, and when the at least three illumination sources are actuated responsive to a second input, the light module emits light in a second pattern that is different from the first pattern.

Abstract: A vehicular vision system includes a plurality of cameras disposed at a vehicle, a multiplexor operable to aggregate the image data from the cameras into aggregated image data, and an interior rearview mirror assembly disposed at the vehicle remote from the multiplexor. The interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head adjustably disposed at a mounting base configured to attach at an interior portion of the vehicle. The mirror head includes a mirror casing and a mirror reflective element. The interior rearview mirror assembly includes an image processor for processing image data. The interior rearview mirror assembly includes a display for displaying images captured by the cameras. The image processor, responsive to receiving the aggregated image data transferred from the multiplexor, displays at the video display video images derived at least in part from the aggregated image data.

Abstract: A vehicular window assembly includes a window panel having an inner surface and an outer surface, electrically conductive traces established at the inner surface of the window panel, a pair of busbars established at the inner surface and in electrical connection with respective portions of the electrically conductive traces, and an electrical connector affixed at each busbar and configured to electrically connect to a wire harness of a vehicle when the vehicular window assembly is installed at the vehicle. The electrical connector includes a bonding portion, a connecting terminal and a busbar-connecting portion. The connecting terminal is configured to electrically connect to the wire harness of the vehicle. The bonding portion is adhesively bonded at the window panel. The electrical connector is bonded at the window panel with the busbar-connecting portion electrically connected to the respective busbar without use of solder.

Abstract: A vehicular interior electrochromic mirror reflective element includes a planar rear interior mirror-shaped glass substrate and a planar front interior mirror-shaped glass substrate. The front glass substrate is shape cut from a planar glass sheet. A perimeter seal establishes an interpane cavity between the rear glass substrate and the planar glass sheet at a respective planar front glass substrate portion of the planar glass sheet. An electrochromic medium is disposed in the interpane cavity. With the rear glass substrate joined with the respective planar front glass substrate portion of the planar glass sheet via the perimeter seal, the planar glass sheet is shape cut at the respective planar front glass substrate portion and the circumferential perimeter cut edges of glass substrates are processed to provide a circumferential rounded perimeter edge of the vehicular interior electrochromic mirror reflective element having a radius of curvature of at least 2.5 mm.

Abstract: A vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head adjustable relative to a mounting base. The mirror head accommodates a mirror reflective element having a transflective mirror reflector and a video display device disposed behind the mirror reflective element and operable to display video images derived from image data captured by a camera of the vehicle. The displayed video images are viewable through the transflective mirror reflector by a driver of the vehicle. Responsive to determination of a glare light source present in a field of view of the camera, intensity of a portion of the displayed video images that corresponds to the glare light source is reduced relative to adjacent portions of the displayed video images.

Abstract: A method for forming a vehicular slider window assembly includes providing a fixed window panel defining an open and attaching upper and lower rails at the fixed window panel. The method includes providing a filler including a filler body and a deformable element along each opposing side wall of the filler body. The method includes forming at least one end of opposite ends of the filler body at an oblique angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the filler body. The filler is disposed in a channel of the upper rail. A movable window panel is provided at the upper and lower rails with an upper region of the movable window panel received in the filler. Each of the deformable elements includes a compressible and flexible material and provides a dampening and cushioning function at the movable window panel received in the filler in the channel of the upper rail.
