Cameras in cars have the problem of cleaning when conditions are not perfect.



Dust, mud, rain, snow, etc.


All this impacts the camera's quality performance.



And this is a serious problem for the Autonomous Driving technology.



Recently, Tesla engineers patented a camera with a self cleaning system using a wiper technology (Patent US 12,636,684 B1).



When checking the camera's diagram, the technology idea resembles the human eye anam

A water spraying systems is installed to deliver water from the top of the lens, while a wiper removes the dirt.



This is basically how the human eye works.



Clever, isn't it?
