Abstract: A monitoring system includes an imaging module that captures image data associated with a vehicle cabin and an electro-optic assembly configured to switch transmission states upon an applied voltage. A control system is in communication with the imaging module and the electro-optic assembly. The control system is configured to receive the image data from the imaging module and detect a presence of light value in the image data that exceeds a threshold value and is proximate the eyes of a vehicle occupant and determine an origin of the presence of light value through the electro-optic assembly by detecting a presence of a shadow in proximity to the eyes of the vehicle occupant. The control system applies a voltage to reduce transmission of the electro-optic assembly and lower the presence of light directed towards the eyes of the vehicle occupant to a value below the predetermined threshold value.

Abstract: A rearview assembly for a vehicle includes a rearview device and a processor. A housing supports the rearview device and the processor. The housing defines a recess therein. An air moving device is operably coupled with the housing and is configured to draw air from an area exterior to the housing into the recess, thereby cooling at least one of the rearview device and the processor.
