Tesla patents camera wiper for self-driving — resulting in more doubts for FSD owners
Tesla has been granted a new patent for a miniature camera cleaning system with a built-in wiper designed to keep vehicle cameras clear for autonomous driving.
The patent addresses one of the most frustrating and well-known issues with Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” system — dirty cameras that constantly trigger alerts telling drivers to clean them. But Tesla’s Robotaxi fleet in Austin already has its own camera washer hardware that consumer vehicles don’t get.

Covenant Logistics, one of the largest trucking companies in the US with a fleet of over 2,600 tractors, completed a two-week evaluation of the Tesla Semi in California — including a loaded run over the notorious Grapevine pass on I-5.
The company’s VP of Sustainability and Innovation, Matt McLelland, said the driver “was amazed at the performance of the Tesla Semi and felt a level of confidence that was hard to match in a diesel truck.”
Mercedes CLA EV delivers an impressive nearly 400 miles of driving range in real-world test

Rolls-Royce Spectre Series II gets NACS, 16% more range at 308 miles
Rolls-Royce has unveiled the Spectre Series II, bringing a 16% range increase to 308 EPA-estimated miles, a switch to the NACS charging standard in the US, and a 670 hp Black Badge variant that becomes the most powerful Rolls-Royce ever built.
The update addresses two of the biggest criticisms of the $398,000 electric super coupe: limited range and reliance on CCS charging infrastructure. But it comes as Spectre sales dropped 47% in 2025, falling to just 1,002 units globally.
Otherwise, the electric vehicle has been quite a success for the brand.
