The sensor housing includes a frame defining a plurality of cavities and a plurality of windows opening into respective cavities. The sensor housing also includes a plurality of sensors, at least some of which are disposed within the respective cavities defined by the frame. The sensors disposed within the respective cavities are oriented relative to the frame such that fields of view of the sensors that are disposed within the respective cavities defined by the frame are directed through the windows that open into the respective cavities. At least one of the plurality of sensors may include a camera mounted to the frame so as to be exterior to the vehicle and oriented such that a field of view of the camera is directed into a cabin of the vehicle.
