or-Cam)” was announced. The "Rotator Cam" can remove not only mud and dust but also water droplets. In particular, the method of rotating the cover glass of the camera lens
The feature is that it can be cleaned without blocking the field of view of the sensor. The product consists of an electric motor to rotate the cover glass, a washer fluid supply device located at the bottom of the cover glass,
It consists of wiper blades and the like. If the artificial intelligence (AI) that analyzes the image detects dirt, the washer fluid supply device is automatically activated to rotate the cover glass. This will remove dirt.
The small wiper is applied, and clear images can be sent and received again. A rain sensor detects rain and eliminates the spraying of washer fluid, minimizing the spread of water spray. and
In particular, the current sensor cleaning technology that uses a cover glass has the problem of moisture getting trapped inside, whereas the rotator cam uses the rotation of the cover glass and propeller.
A breeze can remove moisture. Hyundai and Kia Motors have finished applying for a patent for their ``rotator cam.'' After completing durability and performance tests, they will consider mass production.
