A side mirror system for a vehicle includes at least one proximity sensor. A motor is operatively connected to the at least one proximity sensor and configured to displace a side mirror away from a direction of approach of an object. The motor may be configured to displace the side mirror along a 180° radius. A controller is included for causing the motor to said displace the side mirror. A first proximity sensor may provide a signal to the controller indicative of an approaching object that is within a predetermined threshold distance from the vehicle. Next proximity sensors provide signals to the controller to cause the motor to displace the side mirror from an original side mirror orientation to a folded orientation. A last proximity sensor provides a signal to the controller to cause the motor to return the side mirror to the original orientation.
