  • Publication number: 20250063704
    Abstract: An electronic computing device for an assistance system of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The device includes a first housing. A first processor device of the assistance system is arranged in a first internal space of the first housing and generates heat during operation. The device also includes a cooling device for cooling the first processor device. The cooling device is formed on a first outer wall of the first housing. A separate second housing with a second internal space is arranged stacked on the first housing viewed along a vertical direction of the electronic computing device. A second processor device of the assistance system is arranged in the second internal space. The second processor device generates heat during operation. A columnar structure of the cooling device is formed on a first outer side of the first outer wall.
