Abstract: A frame-side air deflector for an automotive vehicle is disclosed. The air deflector includes a first portion oriented substantially vertical with respect to an underside of the automotive vehicle, a second portion oriented substantially perpendicular to the first portion, and a transition portion connecting the first and second portions. In some aspects, the first portion curves outward and away from a centerline of the vehicle and the second portion angles downward from the underside of the vehicle such that as the vehicle travels in a forward direction, air is directed downward, outward, and away from one or more rear-mounted components of the vehicle.

Abstract: A camera system for a vehicle includes a body defining a cavity therein, and a camera including a lens. The camera is disposed in a deployed position such that the lens protrudes from the cavity. The camera system includes a debris region covering the lens and a duct disposed within the cavity. The duct defines a channel therein and has a first end spaced apart from the camera and a second end spaced apart from the first end. The duct is configured for directing an airstream through the channel from the first end to the debris region. A vehicle including the camera system is also disclosed.
