The present application is directed to a system and method for processing fluid captured from a vehicle surface and routing the fluid to one or more fluid reservoirs of the vehicle. The system includes one or more reservoirs for storing captured fluid and one or more reservoirs for storing chemical based fluids such as antifreeze fluids. The system is operationally configured to convey chemical based fluid to the captured fluid reservoir(s) according to one or more preset ambient temperatures of the system prior to routing fluid to one or more fluid reservoirs of the vehicle.

The invention relates to a wiper system (1) for wiping a glazed surface of a motor vehicle having a washer system (3) able to be used in combination with a reservoir (5) containing a washer fluid, said wiper system comprisinga drive motor (7) for driving at least one wiper arm,a pump (11) intended to be fluidly connected firstly to said reservoir (5) and secondly to at least two spray nozzles at least one of which is able to deliver a jet of fluid to the windshield of a vehicle and at least another of which is able to deliver a jet of fluid to the rear screen of a vehicle, anda switch (17) having at least a first position for supplying said at least one spray nozzle able to deliver a jet of fluid to the windshield and a second position for supplying said at least one spray nozzle able to deliver a jet of fluid to the rear screen,the pump (11) being a two-way pump capable of being driven in two opposite directions of rotation to supply one or other of the spray nozzles under the control of said switch (17), characterized in that means (9) for generating electrical control signals which are connected to the drive motor (7) are able to generate electrical control signals that vary according to the angular position of the wiper arm on the glazed surface and in that said two-way pump is supplied when the switch (17) is in the first position via the means (9) of generating electrical control signals which are connected to the drive motor (7) according to the angular position of the wiper arm on the glazed surface.

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.
