In one embodiment, a method includes, by a computing system of a vehicle, determining a first temperature of a control unit of the vehicle, wherein the control unit and one or more components of the vehicle are interconnected through a thermal network, determining a thermal objective for the control unit based on the first temperature of the control unit, selecting, based on the thermal objective for the control unit, at least a first component from the one or more components, and sending one or more signals to one or more actuators within the thermal network to enable a heat-transfer fluid to flow between (1) a first portion of the thermal network thermally coupled to the control unit and (2) a second portion of the thermal network thermally coupled to the selected first component.
