  • Patent number: 11972670
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a chassis, aa body assembly coupled to the chassis, the body assembly defining a compartment, and a thermal event monitoring system comprising a sampling element configured to detect a thermal event associated with the vehicle indicating at least one of a fire or an overheating component. The thermal event monitoring system is configured to reroute the vehicle, in response to detecting the thermal event, to a safe location comprising one of (a) a service location, (b) a fire station, or (c) an area having a lower population density than a current location of the vehicle.
    Type: Grant
