Claim 17:
18. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to:
operate an environmental control system of a vehicle according to a first set of operating parameters, wherein the environmental control system is configured to control air flow to an interior portion of the vehicle and to direct air from the interior portion of the vehicle to a duct that surrounds electronic components, the duct comprising:
an entrance configured to receive air from the interior portion of the vehicle, a first branch configured to direct air from the entrance back into the interior portion of the vehicle, and
a second branch configured to direct air from the entrance to an environment outside the vehicle,
wherein the environmental control system comprises a blower coupled with the first branch and configured to selectively distribute air through the first branch and the second branch, and wherein operating the environmental control system according to the first set of operating parameters is configured to cause the air to dissipate heat from the electronic components at a first rate;
obtain first data representing a temperature of the electronic components;
obtain second data representing a state of the vehicle different from the temperature of the electronic components; and
in accordance with a determination that the temperature of the electronic components and the state of the vehicle satisfy predetermined criteria, operate the environmental control system according to a second set of operating parameters, wherein operating the environmental control system according to the second set of operating parameters is configured to cause the air to dissipate heat from the electronic components at a second rate different from the first rate.
