New alignment rack coming soon. Flush to the ground with no ground clearance issues. Next step is pouring some walls and epoxy. Should be sweet.

The 2021 Ford F-150 Surround View Camera System (also known as the *360-Degree Camera*) consists of multiple cameras placed around the vehicle to provide a bird’s-eye view. Here’s the typical layout of the cameras:

1. **Front Camera** – Located in the grille, near the Ford emblem.
2. **Side Cameras (Left & Right)** – Integrated into the bottom of the side mirrors.
3. **Rear Camera** – Positioned near the tailgate handle.
4. **Bed Camera (Optional)** – Some models include a camera mounted on the high-mounted stop lamp for cargo monitoring.

These cameras work together to create a stitched-together **overhead view**, which helps with parking, off-roading, and navigating tight spaces. 🚗

ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) can struggle in rain or snowy weather because the sensors, particularly cameras and radar, rely on clear visibility to function accurately. When it’s snowing or raining heavily, these sensors might get obstructed or confused by the elements.

- **Cameras**: These can have difficulty detecting the road, lane markings, and other vehicles when there’s snow or rain on the lens. The rain on the camera lens can obscure the view, causing the system to misinterpret the surroundings or fail to recognize critical visual cues like lane boundaries and road signs.

- **Radar**: While radar is less affected by visual obstructions like rain or snow, heavy precipitation can still scatter radar waves, reducing the system’s effectiveness in detecting objects or obstacles.

- **Ultrasonic Sensors**: These may also be affected by wet conditions, as water can dampen the signals, reducing their range and accuracy.

This is why ADAS systems often recommend caution or even temporarily disable certain functions in these weather conditions.
