    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: A system receives, from one or more flow rate sensor circuits, one or more signals that indicate the flow rate of coolant provided to a set of circuit boards. The one or more flow rate sensor circuits are configured to detect the flow rate of the coolant traveling from one or more pumps towards the set of circuit boards. The one or more pumps are configured to direct a flow of the coolant towards the set of circuit boards. The system compares the flow rate of the coolant to a threshold flow rate. The system determines that a total flow rate of the coolant is less than the threshold flow rate. The system causes the autonomous vehicle to perform a minimal risk maneuver in response to determining that the flow rate of the coolant is less than the threshold flow rate.
