Abstract: Systems and methods for cleaning, drying, and thermally managing vehicle components are described herein. In some embodiments, the vehicle components can include various sensors and, more particularly, the surfaces of cameras, LIDAR sensors, etc., that need to be clean to effectively perceive the environment around the vehicle. In one embodiment, a cleaning system includes a central delivery system configured to route fluid, such as washer fluid, along one or more delivery channels to remote holding chambers. The holding chambers can hold and/or heat the fluid before delivering the fluid to nozzles that spray the fluid on nearby vehicle components to clean the components.

Abstract: A computing device having adaptable image search and methods for operating an image recognition program on the computing device are disclosed herein. An image recognition program may receive a query from a user and a target image within which a search based on the query is to be performed using one or more of a plurality of locally stored image recognition models, which are determined to be able to perform the search with sufficiently high confidence. The query may comprise text that is typed or converted from speech. The image recognition program performs the search within the target image for a target region of the target image using at least one selected image recognition model stored locally, and returns a search result to the user.
