Abstract
Technologies for mirror adjustment include an in-vehicle computing system of a vehicle to determine a position of a feature of a face of a driver of the vehicle in an image captured by a camera of the vehicle. The in-vehicle computing system determines a position of the feature of the face of the driver relative to a mirror of the vehicle based on configuration data of the vehicle and the captured image. The in-vehicle computing system further determines an angle between the feature of the face of the driver, the mirror, and an ideal normal of the mirror. The configuration data identifies a location of the camera relative to the mirror, and the ideal normal is an imaginary line normal to the mirror and extending therefrom when the mirror is positioned in a reference position. The in-vehicle computing system adjusts an orientation of the mirror based on the determined angle.
