A camera cleaning system for an autonomous vehicle may include a platform that can accommodate multiple cameras, wiper systems, as well as a fluid delivery system. The wiper system may include a wiper, rail, and a hydraulic motion component for each camera. The platform surface that contacts the wiper system's wipers and cleaning fluid may be angled and may include a window or lens for each camera. The autonomous vehicle may include a controller that may decide when a camera cleaning protocol should be executed. Alternatively, or additionally, a camera cleaning protocol may be executed periodically, as indicated by a controller.

The disclosure relates in general to a method and a system for identifying a vehicle via a system. The system comprises at least one sensor, a system control device coupled to the sensor and the vehicle having a vehicle control device. A vehicle having at least one component is detected. The component is movable, can be detected by the sensor and is coupled to the vehicle control device. The system control device is coupled to the vehicle control device. An identifier is forwarded by the system control device to the vehicle control device. A movement pattern is executed by the at least one component of the vehicle based on the identifier. A movement pattern executed by the component of the vehicle is detected by the sensor. The vehicle is identified by the system control device (16) based on the detected movement pattern.
