AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing vehicle systems with lidar detectors face increased costs and complexity due to the need for separate nozzles or pumps to clean the detector's optical surface, which can lead to reduced detection accuracy from raindrops and debris.
Method used
A vehicle design incorporating a plate-like member made of high infrared transmittance glass within the wiper area, which is supported by a frame at the boundary with the windshield, allowing the wiper to clean the detector's optical surface without additional components.
Benefits of technology
This configuration effectively removes raindrops and debris from the lidar detector's surface, improving detection accuracy while reducing costs and system complexity by eliminating the need for separate cleaning mechanisms.

Abstract
To provide a vehicle capable of removing raindrops sticking on the front of a detector with cost-saving constitution.SOLUTION: A vehicle 100 comprises: a windshield 1 which has a front surface 1a facing the outside of the vehicle and a second surface 1b facing the inside of the vehicle; a light-transmissive plate member 13 provided on an extension surface of the windshield 1; a rider 10 which is installed in the vehicle opposite the plate member 13, and detects an object outside the vehicle through the plate member 13; and a wiper which wipes the front surface 1a of the windshield 1. The plate member 13 is arranged inside a wiping region of the wiper.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
