Systems and methods are provided for a baffle assembly for an optical sensor. In one aspect, the baffle assembly is coupled to an optical sensor that is mounted on an autonomous vehicle. The baffle assembly can include a baffle housing coupled to the optical sensor at a proximal edge, and configured to at least partially enclose a field of view of the optical sensor. Additionally, the baffle assembly may include one or more nozzles that are configured to project fluid toward a surface of a lens of the optical sensor.
