Tesla Patent Prevents Windshield Haze on FSD Cameras Using VOC Absorption

Tesla has published a patent aiming to address the issue of volatile organic compounds (VOC) condensation inside the front camera housing of the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system. The patent proposes embedding VOC-absorbing material, specifically microporous crystalline aluminosilicate particles, throughout the plastic housing. These particles, which can make up about 70% of the material's weight, trap VOCs released over time that condense on the windshield, causing haze that impairs camera visibility. This passive solution focuses on preventing haze buildup rather than simplifying cleaning, a pr

• Patent uses microporous particles to absorb VOCs in FSD camera housing.
• Particles may account for up to 70% of the plastic weight to trap VOCs.
