The disclosure relates to a motor vehicle comprising a dust sensor. The dust sensor is a scattered light photometer according to the disclosure. The scattered light photometer measures the dust load of the air in a region of the motor vehicle in which resuspended or emitted dust has a tendency to occur during travel. In addition, the motor vehicle contains a device for dust reduction, which receives measured data from the scattered light photometer, and decides, on the basis of the measured data, whether measures are to be taken against dust resuspension or dust emission. The device takes corresponding measures if the dust load exceeds a threshold value.

Image recording device provided with a fixed part for at least partial inclusion in and/or on the body of a motor vehicle, and a movable part which contains at least one optical element, the optical element comprising at least one optical sensor and/or a lens unit, and an adjustment device provided with a power source, for adjusting the movable part between a first position and a second position, wherein during use in the first position the movable part is wholly or partly included in the body, and in the second position the movable part extends at an angle with respect to the body, such that at least the optical element carried by the movable part extends at least partly outside the body, wherein the movable part pivots from the second position about a, preferably substantially vertical, axis to the first position and vice versa.

When an operation signal of a view-obstructing material removal mode switch has been detected, a controller controls such that wiping operation is performed while spraying washer fluid toward the opposite side to a movement direction side of a wiper blade, after which a wiping operation in which washer fluid is not sprayed is performed.

The present disclosure provides a vehicle wiper-washer device including: a wiper motor causing to-and-fro wiping operation on a wiping surface by a wiper blade coupled to a wiper arm; a washer pump that feeds washer fluid under pressure to a jetting portion provided to at least one of the wiper blade or the wiper arm, to cause washer fluid to be jetted from the jetting portion toward the wiping surface on an outward movement direction side of the wiper blade during the to-and-fro wiping operation; and a control unit that, when a predetermined signal is detected, controls the wiper motor and the washer pump such that the to-and-fro wiping operation is performed, and such that washer fluid is jetted from the jetting portion toward the wiping surface on the outward movement direction side while a return path wiping operation of the to-and-fro wiping operation is being performed.

The technology relates to a system for clearing sensors. The system may comprise a sensor. The sensor may comprise a sensor cover and a cover window arranged on the sensor cover. The system may further comprise a sensor motor for rotating the sensor cover and the cover window around an axis of rotation. The sensor cover and cover window may be rotated to clear the cover window of debris. The cover window may have a linear cross section in a plane that passes through and is perpendicular to the axis of rotation. The sensor motor may be configured to rotate the sensor cover and the cover window.

A system includes a roof mount including a drainage tray, a sensor housing disposed on the roof mount, and a sensor supported by the sensor housing and a fluid spray directed toward the sensor. The sensor is disposed above the drainage tray.

A vehicle assembly includes a vehicle window, a sprayer positioned above the vehicle window and aimed at the vehicle window, a sensor positioned below the vehicle window, and a deflector positioned to receive fluid from the sprayer and shaped to direct the fluid to the sensor. A single sprayer therefore provides cleaning for both the vehicle window and the sensor.
