Abstract The present invention relates to an automated side mirror for location on a large vehicle such as a mining dump truck or load haul dump truck. The automated side mirror includes a mounting arrangement, a mirror, and a moving arrangement. The moving arrangement is configured for moving the mirror between an operational condition and a stowed condition. When the mirror is in its operational condition, a substantial portion of the mirror is visible to the driver of the vehicle. When the mirror is in its stowed condition, a substantial portion of the mirror is obscured behind an opaque portion of the vehicle. The mirror may be linearly movable between its stowed condition and its operational condition, or it may be pivotably movable or a combination of both.
