Modern introduces a self-cleaning ADAS camera, no longer afraid of dust obstructing the view of the road

Modern introduces a self-cleaning ADAS camera, ensuring a clear road view without dust obstruction

【Phoneauto News】In recent years, the function of assisted driving in cars has been increasingly appearing in new models. With technological advancements and improved regulations, vehicles that support L4 level autonomous driving technology will also emerge in the future. In order to achieve advanced assisted driving and autonomous driving, onboard cameras have become very important. As one of the core components of the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), they can capture information about road conditions and the surrounding environment, thereby helping vehicles make the right decisions. However, cameras also have a fatal weakness, which is that they are easily obstructed or blurred by pollutants such as dust, dirt, rain, and snow, affecting their field of vision and performance.

In order to solve this problem, modern cars have developed a self-cleaning ADAS camera. Unlike other cameras that cannot completely clean debris on the lens and may temporarily obstruct the camera’s vision due to liquid blocking the lens or improper drying, modern cameras have a large encapsulation unit behind a rotating housing. The front of the housing is a glass lens that can protect the camera system behind it.

Introduction to related technology

When the outer lens gets dirty and needs cleaning, modern practices do not simply spray the lens and let it air dry. Instead, a small wiper blade that passes through the external glass surface is used. When the car’s software determines that the camera is obstructed by dust, it will first spray the lens and then only rotate the outermost layer of the lens while the wiper blade remains stationary, thus achieving lens cleaning.

However, currently these modern new technologies are still in the conceptual stage. Modern has already started polishing the relevant molds, but they have not yet undergone a series of tests to determine if they are reliable and durable enough to be pushed into the market.
