Optical lens system and vehicle camera

This is a seven-lens camera system designed for driverless vehicles, arranged in a specific order from negative to positive powers, with a stop early in the sequence. It uses a cemented lens and is engineered for thermal stability and high resolution across different light wavelengths. The claims narrow the invention to specific material properties for the third and fourth lenses to achieve these optical qualities.

Why it matters: Filed when driverless vehicle requirements were still evolving. The intervening years have solidified the need for thermally stable, high-resolution cameras, making this design's specific performance targets more relevant to current industry standards for autonomous systems.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedCustom ground and coated lenses, precision assembly.
