According to one aspect, a thermal system of a vehicle which provides cooling to within the vehicle, e.g., within a driver and passenger carrying cabin or compartment, is effectively leveraged to provide cooling capabilities to autonomous vehicle systems. Some coolant flowing through a coolant loop included in the thermal system of a vehicle may be diverted to an offshoot loop which provides cooling to coolant included in a coolant loop configured to cool autonomous vehicle systems, e.g., a compute system that is part of an autonomous vehicle. The coolant from the thermal system of the vehicle may flow past coolant from the coolant loop configured to cool autonomous vehicle systems, and the cooled coolant from the coolant loop configured to cool the autonomous vehicle systems may flow near the autonomous vehicle systems to cool the autonomous vehicle systems.

Disclosed therein is an air conditioner for a vehicle which includes a sealing member attached to one side of a door member of a mode door face-sealed with the inner face of an air-conditioning case by the inside wind pressure of the air-conditioning case so as to prevent vibration of the door member by wind pressure of the inside of the air-conditioning case and prevent air leakage from the face-sealed part, and which includes a rib formed on the door member for preventing excessive pressure of the sealing member in order to make actuating force of the door member uniform and to enhance a passenger's sense of manipulation.

A vehicle air conditioner is capable of selecting and changing an optimum operation mode so that a desirable air conditioning performance can be exerted on conditions such as an environment and a set temperature. A controller changes and executes at least one of a heating mode, a dehumidifying and heating mode, a dehumidifying and cooling mode, and a cooling mode. In the dehumidifying and heating mode, the controller shifts to the dehumidifying and cooling mode on the basis of a situation where heat absorption in a heat absorber (9) runs short or heat radiation in a radiator (4) becomes excessive, and also in this dehumidifying and cooling mode, the controller shifts to the dehumidifying and heating mode on the basis of a situation where the heat radiation in the radiator (4) runs short.

In a vehicle air conditioner device of a heat pump system, control of an air mix damper is appropriately performed in each operation mode, thereby achieving efficient vehicle interior air conditioning. The vehicle air conditioner device includes an air mix damper 28 to adjust a ratio at which air in an air flow passage 3 passed through a heat absorber 9 is to be passed through a radiator 4. In a cooling mode, a controller controls the air mix damper 28 to adjust the ratio at which the air is to be passed through the radiator 4 on the basis of one, any combination, or all of a target outlet temperature, a temperature of the radiator and a temperature of the heat absorber, and in a heating mode, the controller controls the air mix damper 28 to pass all the air in the air flow passage 3 through the radiator 4.
