Devices, systems, and methods are provided for enhanced sensor cleaning validation. A device may determine a baseline performance measurement associated with a clean performance baseline of a sensor. The device may actuate a cleaning mechanism to remove at least a portion of an obstruction deposited on the sensor. The device may determine a first post-clean performance measurement associated with the sensor. The device may determine a degradation measurement between the baseline performance measurement and the first post-clean performance measurement, wherein the degradation measurement indicates an effectiveness of the cleaning mechanism.

An imaging system for an autonomous vehicle comprises a camera for capturing images within a first field of view, a transparent disc arranged in front of the camera such that the transparent disc covers the field of view of the camera, an actuator configured to rotate the transparent disc, and a mounting arrangement configured to mount the camera, the transparent disc and the actuator on an autonomous vehicle. Also described is an imaging system comprises a camera for capturing images within a first field of view through a transparent surface, and a fluid dispenser constructed and arranged to spray a fluid onto the transparent surface within the first field of view. Also described is an image capture system for an autonomous vehicle comprising two such cameras with respective transparent discs and actuators.

A motor vehicle equipped with a parking light, a low-beam and a high-beam, and with a dashboard and a steering column. For the purpose of realizing a lightweight construction concept, the parking light, the low-beam and the high-beam are automatically controllable via information from a navigation system and from at least one camera for the environment around the vehicle, and the vehicle does not have any operating device operable by the driver for the parking light, the low-beam and/or the high-beam with at least one button, at least one switch and/or at least one operating lever in or on a dashboard or on a steering column.

The invention concerns an assembly (1) for producing a motor vehicle windscreen wiping system (3), including an end fitting (5) of a wiper arm (7) adapted to move a wiper (9), a hydraulic and/or electrical connector (11) for feeding a liquid to the wiper and/or for heating the liquid, said end fitting (5) being configured to accept an adapter (13) allowing rotation between said arm (7) and the wiper (9), said end fitting (5) internally accepting said connector (11), said end fitting (5) being configured to engage said hydraulic and/or electrical connector (11), in an oriented manner relative to the end fitting (5), in a so-called service position, allowing the disconnection and/or the connection of the connector (11) on the arm (7).

Liquid screen-wash for vehicle windscreen, comprising between 0.01% and 10% by weight of a surfactant or of a mixture of surfactants, between 5% and 15% by weight of a glycol ether, and water.
