Abstract: According to one aspect, an apparatus includes a first system that generates heat, and a cooling arrangement. The cooling arrangement cools the first system, and includes a coolant source and a distribution arrangement. The coolant source provides a coolant in a first state that is distributed by the distribution arrangement to absorb the heat. The cooling arrangement includes a control arrangement and a heating arrangement. The control arrangement maintains the coolant in the first state at least a set point, the set point being a temperature that is above a dew point, by determining when to activate the heating arrangement to warm the coolant in the first state and, when it is determined by the control arrangement that the heating arrangement is to be activated, activating the heating arrangement to warm the coolant in the first state to maintain the temperature of the coolant at the set point.

Abstract: This document describes techniques, apparatuses, and systems for standard-definition (SD) to high-definition (HD) navigation route determination. An example route builder receives a navigation route generated for a host vehicle. The navigation route includes a list of waypoints generated by an SD map database. The route builder matches the list of waypoints to lane geometry data maintained in an HD map database and outputs HD navigation route to a vehicle controller. The HD navigation route includes the list of waypoints, additional waypoints, and lane geometry data. The vehicle controller can then operate the host vehicle in a roadway environment along the HD navigation route. In this way, the described techniques and systems can provide HD navigation routes required by some assisted-driving and autonomous-driving systems based on SD navigation routes.

Abstract: This document describes techniques for localizing a vehicle to map data, for example, to enable assisted driving and automated driving within a road. A road model builder is described that uses vehicle location data to determine its position relative to map data obtained from a provider, which can be different than the location data's source. Using the vehicle position, the road model builder maintains a current lane segment for the vehicle and its relative position within the current lane segment. Based on its relative position, the road model builder determines whether a transition to another lane segment is appropriate before setting the current lane segment to be the other lane segment. The current lane segment, when provided as an input to an assisted-driving or automated-driving system, can enable safer operation of the vehicle and use fewer computing resources than other systems.
