Abstract
A windshield electronics module for a vehicular vision system includes a camera module configured to be mounted at an in-cabin side of a windshield of a vehicle, and a cover element that encloses the camera module at the windshield when the camera module and cover element are mounted at the in-cabin side of the windshield. The camera module includes a camera and circuitry including an image processor. A cooling fan assembly is attached at the camera housing and an air intake conduit is disposed between an air inlet of the cover element and an air inlet of the cooling fan assembly. The cooling fan assembly, when electrically powered, draws air from the interior cabin of the vehicle via the air intake conduit and directs the drawn air as airflow along and between heat dissipating fins of the camera housing.
