Claim:
An automatically-adjusting mirror system, for use in a vehicle, comprising: a mirror assembly; a head position sensor configured and arranged to detect poses of a head of a vehicle driver; and a controller comprising a processor and a computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising: receiving, from the head position sensor, initial data indicating an initial pose of the head of the driver; receiving, from the head position sensor, subsequent data indicating a new pose of the head of the driver; determining, using the initial data indicating the initial pose of the head of the driver and the subsequent data indicating the new pose of the head of the driver, a change in driver head position; generating, based on the change in driver head position determined, a mirror-assembly-control signal to command adjustment of the mirror assembly for maintaining a line of sight for the driver; and sending, to the mirror assembly, the mirror-assembly-control signal to maintain the line of sight for the driver.
