How common is the camera blocked issue?

[crisagatie]

it probably depends on the weather in their region or not driving early in the morning or late at night when it's chilly. For me, it's consistent with cold weather and people in the car causing more condensation. never happened when the weather was warmer, and it rarely happens in cold when I'm alone in the car.

I had it happen the other day, screen was nice and clear, however it was thick fog outside, as soon as the fog cleared a bit it went out

Happens eveyday, morning and evening for me, but I think it is not so simple

I get the car crash icon very often, but the message about a blocked camera much less often.

Last night had a hour drive after work, the weather was an extreme the car could not possibly be expected to cope with, -1 degrees.

After 23 miles, car all toasty and warm, windscreen completely clear, no rain, snow, sleet or fog, completely clear, I still have the crash icon., however the car was able and willing to follow the white lines and did not think I needed a coffee.

If the camera is too obscured to avoid crashing, how can it be happy to do its self steering thing?

i get the camera obscured message at least 4 times a week even if it looks cloudy and as for collision avoidance i personally think it is a dangerous addition a car turned left in front of me there was plenty of room but it slammed on the brakes and swerved into oncoming traffic , when i reverse out of my yard it slams brakes on for no apparent reason
