Abstract: An imaging device images rearward of a vehicle through a windshield from inside a cabin of the vehicle, and a vehicle washing device includes a wiping device and a controller. The wiping device is capable of reciprocatingly wiping a predetermined range of the windshield. The predetermined range of the windshield includes an imaging range for the imaging device. The controller switches operation of the wiping device to one of a first mode or a second mode in accordance with an input. In the first mode, the wiping device wipes the predetermined range of the windshield. In the second mode, the wiping device wipes the imaging range of the windshield preferentially compared to the first mode.

Abstract: A cleaning target provided to a vehicle is automatically cleaned in an appropriate manner. A vehicle cleaning system includes a cleaning section configured to clean a cleaning target provided to a vehicle, and a control section configured to control cleaning of the cleaning target by the cleaning section according to at least one out of a travel situation of the vehicle, an environmental situation of the vehicle, or an indicator relating to adhesion of adhered material to the cleaning target of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle washing device, including: a wiping section configured to wipe a predetermined range on a windshield of a vehicle, the predetermined range including an imaging range of an imaging section configured to image an exterior of the vehicle through the windshield from inside a vehicle cabin; and a spraying section provided outside the vehicle cabin and configured to spray a washer liquid onto the windshield, the spraying section having a spray direction of the washer liquid configured such that a spray region of the washer liquid interposed between a pair of tangents, each extending from the spraying section and tangential to a landing region at which the sprayed washer liquid lands on the windshield, has an overlap with the imaging range of no greater than a predetermined proportion of the imaging range, or such that the spray region is separated from a predetermined region of the imaging range.

Abstract: A vehicle cleaning system includes plural cleaning sections configured to clean cleaning targets including a sensor face of an optical sensor installed to a vehicle, and a control section capable of automatically controlling the cleaning sections. The control section is configured to control a priority ranking for actuation of the cleaning sections in response to a travel situation and/or an environmental situation of the vehicle in cases in which a cleaning request has been made for the cleaning sections.
