In one embodiment, a storage system includes one or more platforms to stow compute units of an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle in a storage compartment of the vehicle. The platform is configured to support a compute unit of the vehicle to avoid a crumple zone of the vehicle. The crumple zone of the vehicle is designed to crumple when colliding with an object. The storage system also includes one or more shear fasteners configured to fasten the compute unit to the platform. The one or more shear fasteners are configured to break in a predetermined direction in response to a predetermined amount of lateral force. The breakage of the one or more shear fasteners decouples the compute unit from the platform in a controlled direction.
