A mirror assembly includes a mirror housing and a mirror. The mirror is supported by the mirror housing. The mirror has an outer reflective surface. The mirror is bendable between a flat shape and a fisheye shape. The mirror assembly further includes an actuator assembly coupled to the mirror. Upon actuation, the actuator assembly is configured to bend the mirror between the flat shape and the fisheye shape to adjust a field of view of the mirror.
