Abstract
A lens, a vehicle lamp, and a corresponding vehicle, the lens including a lens portion with a touch area and an antenna portion including a flange portion, the antenna portion being electrically conductive and at least partially opposite to the touch area. When the touch area of the lens provided with the antenna portion is touched, the capacitance of a capacitor formed by the antenna portion will change.
