Abstract: A sensor mounting arrangement suitable for an autonomous or automated vehicle having an aerodynamic generally rounded or curved front perimeter surface symmetrically arranged relative to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The sensor is mounted so as to be tipped toward a more optimal sensing direction, bringing a leading portion outboard of, and a trailing portion inboard of, the ideal front perimeter surface, but putting the sensor in a more optimal sensing orientation. A transparent cover protects the sensor and blends aerodynamically into the front perimeter body surface.
