Forward viewing camera configured to control outside electro-optic mirror
First Claim
1. A system for controlling a dimming function of a display element configured to provide a rearward view from a host vehicle, the system comprising:
- a sensor directed forward relative to the host vehicle; and
a controller in communication with the sensor and the display element, wherein the controller is configured to;
identify a taillight of a detected vehicle from data received from the sensor;
calculate a passing period for the host vehicle to pass the detected vehicle based on a change in the data received from the sensor; and
adjust a display property of the display element based on the passing period to limit a glare displayed by the display element.

Abstract
A system for controlling a dimming function of a display element of a host vehicle is disclosed. The system comprises a display element configured to provide a rearward view from the host vehicle and a sensor directed forward relative to the host vehicle. A controller is in communication with the sensor and the display element. The controller is configured to identify a taillight of a detected vehicle from data received from the sensor. Based on the data received from the sensor, the controller calculates a passing period for the host vehicle to pass the detected vehicle. Based on the passing period the controller adjusts a display property of the display element to limit a glare displayed by the display element.
