Abstract

A sensor assembly includes a first sensing device and a second sensing device spaced from the first sensing device. The sensor assembly includes a bracket supporting the first sensing device and the second sensing device and a sensor cover including a first sensor window and a second sensor window. The first sensing device has a first field of view through the first sensor window and the second sensing device having a second field of view through the second sensor window. The sensor assembly includes an air nozzle housing supported by the bracket and defining a first air nozzle aimed toward the first sensor window and a second air nozzle aimed toward the second sensor window. The sensor assembly includes a washer nozzle spaced from the first air nozzle. The washer nozzle aimed toward the first sensor window in a direction opposite to a direction of the first air nozzle.
