Abstract

A mirror positioning apparatus includes a support arm rigidly attachable to an interior surface of a vehicle, a central mirror coupled to the support arm for pivotal movement about a sensor pivot point, the central mirror having a reflective front surface, at least one sensor for sensing pivotal movements of the central mirror about the sensor pivot point and generating sensor output signals indicative of the pivotal movements, at least one side mirror disposed on an exterior side of the vehicle, a selection mechanism for selecting one or none of the at least one side mirror to be positioned and for generating a selection signal indicative of a selected side mirror, a computer processor electronically coupled to the sensor and the selection mechanism, the computer processor being configured for receiving the selection signal and the sensor output signals and for generating side mirror position signals based on the sensor output signals, and a side mirror motor operatively coupled to each of the at least one side mirror for receiving the side mirror position signals and positioning the selected side mirror in accordance therewith.
