I want someone to invent a bidet for the rear camera lens. That can’t be hard, right? Just a little thing plugged into the rear window washer line, with enough pressure to hose off all that crap?
If you make and patent it that’s fine, I don’t need credit I just need it installed on my car like yesterday.

Remember when saabs had tiny wipers on the headlights? Peek automobile innovation.

I had a 2004 and they innovated on their innovation and ditched the tiny wipers in favor of a pair of high pressure jets for each lens. No tiny wipers to maintain and headlights that got washed when I sprayed the windshield!

I had many until the cost to repair them was just to damn high.

Subaru’s rear wipers were designed so that this happens! One of my favorite features in the car during the winter along with the front windshield warming element.

And a teeny tiny wiper blade

Range Rovers will wash the camera whenever you put it in reverse and wash the rear windows.

… I want the rear-view bidet so much that I looked up prices for Range Rovers.
And, uh… Anyone in the market for a gently used kidney?

I think Chevy Bolt has it also

Ford has this for their front camera. No idea why this isn’t universal for rear cameras.
