Claims20
A vehicle, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a non-transitory memory operatively coupled to the one or more processors comprising a set of instructions of computer-executable program code, which when executed by the one or more processors cause the vehicle to:
- execute window glass cleanliness analysis to determine cleanliness of vehicle window glass based on captured sensor data associated with a passenger cabin of the vehicle, stored data, and wireless communication network data;
- and
- cause, based on the window glass cleanliness analysis and a determination that the vehicle window glass is unclean, a cleaning sequence of the vehicle window glass.
A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer readable medium having with a set of instructions of computer-executable program code, which when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to:
- execute window glass cleanliness analysis to determine cleanliness of vehicle window glass based on captured sensor data associated with a passenger cabin of the vehicle, stored data, and wireless communication network data;
- and
- cause, based on the window glass cleanliness analysis and a determination that the vehicle window glass is unclean, a cleaning sequence of the vehicle window glass.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- executing, by one or more processors of a computing device associated with a vehicle, window glass cleanliness analysis to determine cleanliness of vehicle window glass based on captured sensor data associated with a passenger cabin of the vehicle, stored data, and wireless communication network data;
- and
- causing, by the one or more processors based on the window glass cleanliness analysis and a determination that the vehicle window glass is unclean, a cleaning sequence of the vehicle window glass.
