1. An automated driving system (ADS) comprising an ADS processor implemented on an electronic control unit (ECU), the ADS processor configured to:
control one or more driving functions of a vehicle;
obtain, from an ECU thermal load estimator of the ECU, an identification of an overheating scenario of the ADS processor that leads to the ADS processor exceeding an operating temperature threshold, the overheating scenario being based on a detected current processing load of the ADS processor used over a predetermined period of time exceeding a capacity threshold; and
in response to obtaining the identification of the overheating scenario, reduce a speed of the vehicle.
