Abstract
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.
