SIDEVIEW MIRROR SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE

An on-vehicle rearview-focused camera is arranged to monitor a field of view that is rearward of the vehicle. The operator monitoring device is arranged to dynamically monitor an eye gaze of an operator. The controller is in communication with a digital display screen, the rearview camera, and the operator monitoring device. The controller includes executable code that is operative to: capture, via the camera, an image of the rearward field of view of the vehicle; determine, via the operator monitoring device, a direction of the eye gaze of the operator; determine an operating mode; and display, via the digital display screen, a portion of the image of the rearward field of view, wherein the portion of the image of the rearward field of view is determined based upon the operating mode and the direction of the eye gaze of the operator.
