Apparatus with a sensor assembly and a stray light baffle
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising a sensor assembly and a stray light baffle,wherein the apparatus is mountable inside of a vehicle on a pane,wherein the sensor assembly includes a first sensor and a second sensor,wherein the stray light baffle is arranged substantially in front of the first sensor in a capture direction of the sensors at the sensor assembly,wherein the stray light baffle has a first side wall and a second side wall,wherein the first side wall is made of a plastics material and the second side wall is a frame with a fabric covering,wherein the second side wall is arranged in front of the second sensor, andwherein only the fabric covering of the second side wall is arranged in front of and intersecting a sensing axis of the second sensor.

Abstract
An apparatus includes a sensor assembly and a stray light baffle. The apparatus is mountable inside of a vehicle on a pane, in particular a windshield. The sensor assembly includes a first sensor and a second sensor. The stray light baffle is arranged substantially in front of the first sensor, in the capture direction of the sensors, at the sensor assembly. The stray light baffle has a first side wall that is made of a plastics material, and a second side wall that is a frame with a fabric covering. The second side wall is arranged in front of the second sensor.
