Default Forward-facing camera on front windshield?

Hey guys,

So I need to replace my front windshield and Safelite was telling me that my "windshield is fitted with a forward-facing camera linked to an advanced driver assistance system" and that it may "require a recalibration of the camera system after a windshield replacement." Do you guys know what this is?

And also......... I feel like I should know this already, but does our windshields come standard with rain sensors? Thanks guys.

Lane Detect and the Auto High Beam use the windshield mounted forward camera.
Any Lexus with LDA would also have the Rainsensing wipers but no, it's not standard

Thanks for the answer. That makes sense. It seems the luxury and tech package comes with those features you mentioned, but the F Sport package doesn't (which I have). I should probably call them and tell them they are ordering the wrong glass.
