Abstract: A system includes heat generating components in a vehicle and a coolant flow path connected to the heat generating components. The system includes a coolant pump that circulates coolant through the coolant flow path and a reversing mechanism that reverses a direction of circulation of coolant.

Abstract: Sensor maintenance tasks are performed by diverting air from one region of a vehicle to another region of the vehicle. A blower provided in a cargo area of a vehicle can divert hot air from the cargo area via one or more conduits to a sensor assembly located in another region of the vehicle such as a rooftop sensor assembly. The sensor assembly may include cameras enclosed in a sensor housing to protect the cameras from exposure to the natural elements. The sensor housing may include a transparent window via which the camera is provided with a field-of-view (FOV) of the external environment. The diverted hot air can be directed/targeted to interior and exterior surfaces of the transparent window to provide various cleaning functions including reducing/removing condensation from the interior surface of the window and removing debris or the like from the exterior surface of the window.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for cooling vehicle components. The system includes one or more heat generating components in a vehicle and a coolant flow path connected to the two or more heat generating components. The system includes a coolant pump configured to circulate coolant through the coolant flow pat and a reversing mechanism configured to reverse a direction of circulation of coolant.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for cooling air in a vehicle. The system includes a chassis, inside an interior area of a vehicle, with one or more openings that are configured to allow air to enter the chassis to cool a heat generating component in the vehicle and an exhaust duct that directs the air away from the chassis after the air has contacted at least a portion of the heat generating component. The system includes a fan that acts to propel the air through the one or more openings and through the exhaust duct.
