Abstract
A mirror assembly is coupled to a vehicle and includes a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensor, a mirror, and a metallized cover. A conductive mirror base is coupled to the LIDAR sensor, mirror, and metallized cover to form the mirror assembly. The mirror and metallized cover are each grounded to the conductive mirror base where the mirror and metallized cover each help to shield the LIDAR sensor from electromagnetic interference.
