Abstract

The subject matter described in this specification is directed to systems and methods for dissipating heat from sensors supporting autonomous vehicle systems. In particular, the specification describes how a housing, enclosing a sensor mounted to an exterior of a vehicle, can include heat dissipation components such as cooling fins across which conditioned cabin air and/or ambient air can be driven to convectively dissipate heat generated by the sensor.
