A cooling apparatus for an autonomous driving controller may include, a chiller fluidically connected to an air-conditioning system through a refrigerant connection line so that a refrigerant circulating in the air-conditioning system provided in the vehicle is introduced into the chiller; a reservoir tank storing a coolant, and fluidically connected to the chiller; and a water pump mounted between the reservoir tank and the autonomous driving controller;, wherein coolant pipes connected to the water pump and the chiller may be connected to the autonomous driving controller respectively.

A thermostat is provided at a connection portion between a cooling water supply passage and a bypass passage. When the temperature of the cooling water lies in a low temperature range lower than a first reference temperature, the thermostat allows introduction of the cooling water from the cooling water discharge passage into the cooling water supply passage via the bypass passage and also prevents introduction of the cooling water from the radiator into the engine via the cooling water supply passage. When the temperature of the cooling water lies in a high temperature range equal to or higher than a second reference temperature which is higher than the first reference temperature, the thermostat allows introduction of the cooling water from the radiator into the engine via the cooling water supply passage and also prevents introduction of the cooling water from the cooling water discharge passage into the cooling water supply passage via the bypass passage.
