Devices, systems, and methods for power distribution in autonomous vehicles are described. An example method of power distribution includes receiving, by a controller disposed in a vehicle, an indication of a fault associated with a load unit of a plurality of load units, wherein the load unit is communicatively coupled to an associated solid-state semiconductor switch, disconnecting, in response to the receiving the indication of the fault, the associated solid-state semiconductor switch, and transmitting, using a controller area network bus in the vehicle communicatively coupled the controller, a digital data message indicative of disconnecting the associated solid-state semiconductor switch to a vehicle control unit.
