Fogged up Autonomy camera

[C12farmer]

Got a warning message 10 minutes into my drive saying cruise control and other features that depend on the camera were disabled.

I learned something new today. The auto matrix headlights do not use the new cameras to control car detection local dimming. They must use the old Mobileye or that other sensor on the right.

When I got home I could see the Gen2 camera interior was completely fogged up, but the mobileye camera was nice and clear.

Is there supposed to be some kind of heater in the housing to clear this up? The rest of my windshield was clear.

There is, but either the housing was in a humid area when installed, or maybe you had some wet gear and left it in the vehicle, and some vapour made its way into there?

Only way to clear it would be to detach the housing and let the area breathe, but would likely mean you're taking it in to get sorted.

No wet things in the car. It's actually not that humid in general.

Is that camera area actually sealed up like you describe? I supposed that would make sense, otherwise it would get filled up with dust over time with no way to clean it.

I didn't have the windshield defroster going since the windshield was totally clear. If that area is sealed up, the windshield defroster wouldn't help anyway.

Trying to figure out if this is something to make a service ticket for?
