A self-contained, compact camera wash system 1000 for a drone 800 or as an automotive aftermarket kit 1101 uses a pressurized container 1002 similar to a common aerosol can to supply washer fluid to a washer nozzle 1020 via actuable valving. The fluid supply container is small for use with drone cameras (e.g., ˜15 ml in volume) and is readily packaged in a compact assembly. For the automotive aftermarket kit 1101 a larger volume container volume is provided and configured to be easily replaced as needed.

A motor vehicle including a water provision unit for providing water to at least one water consumer. Here, a water collection tank, a primary water tank and at least one secondary water tank are provided. The water collection tank is or can be fluidically connected to a water source and the primary water tank, bypassing the water collection tank and the secondary water tank, is fluidically connected to the at least one water consumer. The water collection tank is fluidically connected both directly and indirectly via the at least one secondary water tank to the primary water tank, and the water provision unit includes a water conveying unit which is provided and designed for conveying the water out of the water collection tank in direction of the primary water tank by a gaseous conveying medium.

A vehicle fluid reservoir system has a fluid tank that contains a vehicle fluid and a light source in an interior of the fluid tank that illuminates the interior of the tank and the surface of fluid in the tank. The illumination of the surface of fluid in the tank is visible from outside the tank, enabling a quick and easy determination of the level of fluid inside the tank. A switch is operatively communicated with the light source. The switch is operable to control the light source to emit light and illuminate the interior of the tank and the fluid surface in the interior of the tank, and to control the light source not to emit light.

Systems, devices, and methods for cleaning a sensor are provided. A sensor can include a housing. The housing can include a curved lens. The sensor can further include an inlet configured to receive a pressurized fluid. The sensor can further include a rotatable fluid distributor positioned within the housing. The rotatable fluid distributor can be configured to receive the pressurized fluid from the inlet. The sensor can further include a plurality of nozzles positioned around an exterior of the housing. Each of the plurality of nozzles can be configured to direct a flow of the pressurized fluid onto at least a portion of the curved lens. When the pressurized fluid is provided to the inlet, the rotatable fluid distributor can be configured to receive the pressurized fluid from the inlet and distribute the pressurized fluid to only a subset of the plurality of nozzles at any time.

A system for distributing washer liquid includes at least one washer pump connected to a reservoir to pressurize the washer liquid, at least one distributor including at least one distribution unit fluidly connected to the washer pump, a plurality of nozzles fluidly connected to the at least one distribution unit in a distributor among the at least one distributor to face a cleaning target, and a controller configured to control opening or closing of the distribution unit formed in the at least one distribution unit and to control pressure of the washer pump.
