A camera cleaning system for a vehicle includes a camera including a lens cover and a motor. A cleaning assembly includes an arm including a cleaning material. The motor selectively adjusts a position of the arm and the cleaning material relative to the lens cover of the camera. The motor selectively adjusts a position of the arm and the cleaning material relative to vehicle from a first position to a second position. The camera selectively generates video signals when the camera is in the first position. The cleaning assembly is in contact with the lens cover when the camera is in the second position.

Systems for integrating camera cleaning and door/trunk access for a vehicle

A vehicle includes at least one image capture device and a user display configured to display images receive from the at least one image capture device. The vehicle also includes a controller programmed to generate a user prompt to set a home vehicle position in response the vehicle entering a first parked state. The controller is also programmed to store at least one reference image indicative of an area in a vicinity of the vehicle corresponding to the home vehicle position. The controller is further programmed to collect a current image corresponding to a current vehicle position in response to a subsequent approach toward the vicinity, and compare the current image to the reference image. The controller is further programmed to generate a user display depicting the vicinity, the current vehicle position, and the home vehicle position.
