Original Abstract Submitted
A camera monitoring system (CMS) disposed on a panel of a vehicle body. A housing is disposed on a vehicle body. A movable housing is movable along the housing. A CMS camera is disposed on one end of the movable housing. A motor part provides driving force by which the movable housing moves along the housing. A transparent part is disposed on the housing and is located in an area facing the CMS camera when the movable housing is retracted into the housing. A controller controls a driving amount of the motor part and controls turning on/off of the CMS camera.
