Can autonomous vehicle designs stand the heat?

Temperatures soared across much of Europe and the rest of the world this summer and keeping cool quickly became an essential staple of everyone’s routine. The human body is amazing in this respect; before you become too hot, the brain instinctively employs thermoregulation. This delicate process maintains the body’s core internal temperature to ensure organs remain in a state of homeostasis
