Abstract: A cooling system for an autonomous vehicle receives a first flow rate data from a first flow rate sensor circuit and a second flow rate data from a second flow rate sensor circuit. The first flow rate data indicates a first flow rate of the liquid coolant flowing out of a first pump. The second flow rate data indicates a second flow rate of the liquid coolant flowing out of a second pump. The system detects that the first flow rate of the liquid coolant is less than a threshold flow rate. In response, the system communicates, to the second pump, a signal that indicates to increase a speed of the second pump to increase the second flow rate of the liquid coolant flowing out of the second pump and compensate for the first flow rate that is less than the threshold flow rate.

Abstract: An autonomous vehicle includes a detection system for identifying the presence changes in wind incident on the autonomous vehicle, particularly wind gusts. The detection system may include one or more wind sensors, particularly those configured to detect wind incident on the vehicle from a direction that is transverse or perpendicular to the direction of motion of the autonomous vehicle. Additionally, systems may be present that correlate the detected wind gusts to changes in the behavior of the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle may react to the detected wind gusts by altering the vehicle's trajectory, by stopping the vehicle, or by communicating with a control center for further instructions.
