Abstract

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) may have processors to perform compute operations. These processors may be susceptible to overheating, due to one or more mechanical failures that may occur in the assembly that encloses the processors. To proactively address potential overheating of these processors, temperature of the processors can be monitored over time, e.g., at launch and during AV operation. A temperature profile line can be fitted to envelop the temperature data samples. The temperature profile line can indicate an extent of overheating, the rate of regression of the assembly's ability to cool the processors and predict when the processor may reach a critical temperature in the future. Based on one or more parameters that define the temperature profile line, it is possible to determine a regression profile of the processor. The regression profile can dictate whether to take an action to compensate for the regression.
