ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for automatically adjusting the angle of a side view mirror of a vehicle having a trailer coupled thereto is provided. The apparatus includes a control unit and at least one transducer coupled to the vehicle for transducing signals from the control unit to a signal directed toward the trailer and which is reflected back to the at least one transducer. The transducers are used to determine an angle between the vehicle and the trailer. A microchip then generates an electrical signal related to the angle between the vehicle and the trailer. A transmitter transmits the electrical signal using radio waves to a receiver unit disposed near the side view mirror. The receiver unit includes a receiving antenna for receiving the signal transmitted from the transmitter. A drive unit is electrically coupled to said receiver unit for rotating and adjusting the angle of the side view mirror in accordance with the electrical signal.
