Embodiments presented herein include systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable medium or media for controlling power for a vehicle that utilizes one or more computing systems for control, such as an autonomous vehicle. Embodiments comprise multi-tiered distributed power supplies. In one or more embodiments, the overall power system may be structured into distinct levels for enhanced reliability and efficiency. Certain power systems may be tasked with supporting certain systems of the vehicle, which may be correlated to the amount of power (i.e., maximum power and duration) the tier can supply. Because of the inherent risks related to vehicles, a paramount emphasis of the power system design and operation is related to safety. In one or more embodiments, a safety power supply is included as a backup system and may be used to perform one or more safety shutdown procedures.
