Provided are example systems for dissipating heat from vehicle-based data processing components. In an example implementation, a heat dissipation device includes a heat sink, an enclosure configured to receive a device including electronic circuitry, a fan, and a flange extending along a periphery of the enclosure and/or the heat sink. The heat dissipation device is configured for insertion into an aperture of a wall of an interior compartment of a vehicle, such that the flange is positioned against the wall, at least a portion of the enclosure is positioned within the interior compartment of the vehicle, and at least a portion of the heat sink and the fan are positioned along an exterior of the vehicle.

Systems for dissipating heat from vehicle-based devices having electronic circuitry

The subject matter described in this specification is directed to systems and methods for dissipating heat from electronic components supporting autonomous vehicle systems. In particular, the specification describes how the electronic components can be positioned in a duct through which conditioned cabin air can be drawn to convectively dissipate heat from the electronic components.

Cooling solutions for autonomous vehicles

The subject matter described in this specification is directed to systems and methods for dissipating heat from sensors supporting autonomous vehicle systems. In particular, the specification describes how a housing, enclosing a sensor mounted to an exterior of a vehicle, can include heat dissipation components such as cooling fins across which conditioned cabin air and/or ambient air can be driven to convectively dissipate heat generated by the sensor.
