Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to a self-centering camera mount. The self-centering camera mount includes a camera mounting plate, first and second deflectors respectively arranged on a first side and a second side of the vehicle, first and second distance sensors mounted on the camera mounting plate to respectively a first distance between the first distance sensor and the first deflector and a second distance between the second distance sensor and the second deflector, and a processor that, when determining that the first distance and the second distance do not match each other, controls, based on the received first and second distances, a camera mounting plate actuator to slide the camera mounting plate until the first and second distances become equal to each other.
