Abstract: Provided herein is a system and method for a sensor housing that mitigates glare within the field-of-view and facilitates cleaning of a sensor lens. A sensor assembly may include: a sensor having a sensor lens and a field-of-view through the sensor lens; and a baffle defining a sensor lens aperture, where the field-of-view through the sensor lens is through the sensor lens aperture, where the baffle includes a series of concentric rings extending away from the sensor lens aperture and increasing in diameter as a distance from the sensor lens aperture increases. According to some embodiments, the series of concentric rings defines a viewing angle, where the viewing angle corresponds to the field-of-view of the sensor lens.

Abstract: Provided herein is a system and method for vibration mitigation at a sensor of a vehicle. Some systems include: at least one sensor; a bracket configured to support the at least one sensor; a sheet metal structure having a first major surface along which the sheet metal structure extends, and a second major surface opposite the first major surface; and a backing plate where the bracket is disposed adjacent to the first major surface of the sheet metal structure, where the backing plate is disposed adjacent to the second major surface of the sheet metal structure, and where two or more fasteners secure the backing plate to the bracket through the sheet metal structure.

Abstract: A sensor housing is provided that is configured to be mounted to a roof of a vehicle. The sensor housing includes a frame defining a plurality of cavities and a plurality of windows opening into respective cavities. The sensor housing also includes a plurality of sensors, at least some of which are disposed within the respective cavities defined by the frame. The sensors disposed within the respective cavities are oriented relative to the frame such that fields of view of the sensors that are disposed within the respective cavities defined by the frame are directed through the windows that open into the respective cavities. At least one of the plurality of sensors may include a camera mounted to the frame so as to be exterior to the vehicle and oriented such that a field of view of the camera is directed into a cabin of the vehicle.
