Abstract: A sensor assembly (100) for a vehicle comprises at least one sensor mount (102) coupled to a front portion of the vehicle to secure one or more lidar sensors. The sensor assembly (100) comprises an airflow optimization member (106, 302) provided ahead of the at least one sensor mount (102) to direct incoming air to a screen (104) of the sensor mount (102) for improving effectiveness of cleaning rainwater deposited thereon. The airflow optimization member could be a corrugated structure or a grooved structure. The airflow optimization member (106, 302) is configured such that the incoming air directed to the screen (104) creates a low pressure zone in front of the screen (104) to maintain effectiveness of a blower in blowing off of the deposited rainwater from the screen (104).
