ABSTRACT:
A control system for discriminating the occurrence of fogging of the windscreen of a vehicle due to the deposition of water drops or the like from the degree of optical scattering and automatically starting and stopping the operation of a defogging apparatus according to the result of the discrimination. To prevent the defogging apparatus from being stopped undesirably due to an optical system being subjected to the effect of a disturbance light, the disturbance light is detected so that when the disturbance light exceeds a predetermined value, the defogging apparatus is maintained in operation.
