Abstract
A sensor unit for a vehicle includes an external sensor, a cleaning nozzle and a housing. The external sensor is configured to obtain information of an external environment, and to have a sensing area being set forward in a travel direction of the vehicle through an exposed surface exposed to the external environment. The cleaning nozzle has an injection port that is located in front of the exposed surface to inject a cleaning fluid to the exposed surface from above of the exposed surface in a yaw axis direction of the vehicle to clean the exposed surface. The housing is provided to hold the external sensor therein. The housing is configured to define a recess that is recessed toward a rearward in the travel direction from the exposed surface below the exposed surface in the yaw axis direction.
