Abstract

A mirror position control device for use in an automobile has mirror angle adjusting motors for adjusting the angle of the mirror to a position previously determined by an individual driver, a memory unit for storing the angles of the mirror desired by each of a plurality of drivers, an angle detector for detecting the actual angle of the mirror, and a control unit for comparing the actual angle as detected by the angle detector with the predetermined angle of an individual driver stored in the memory unit and for applying a control signal to the mirror angle adjusting motors to adjust the angle of the mirror to the optimum angle suited for the individual driver.
