NEW SECTION . 321.514 Definitions. 4 As used in this section and sections 321.515 through 5 321.519, unless the context otherwise requires: 6 1. “Automated driving system” means the hardware and 7 software collectively capable of performing all dynamic driving 8 tasks on a sustained basis, regardless of whether the system is 9 limited to a specific operational design domain, if any. 10 2. “Conventional human driver” means a natural person 11 who manually controls the in-vehicle accelerating, braking, 12 steering, and transmission gear selection input devices in 13 order to operate a motor vehicle. 14 3. “Driverless-capable vehicle” means a system-equipped 15 vehicle capable of performing all dynamic driving tasks within 16 the automated driving system’s operational design domain, if 17 any, including but not limited to achievement of a minimal risk 18 condition without intervention or supervision by a conventional 19 human driver. 20 4. “Dynamic driving task” means any real-time operational 21 and tactical function required to operate a motor vehicle on 22 a highway in traffic within an automated driving system’s 23 specific operational design domain, if any. “Dynamic driving 24 task” does not include any strategic function such as trip 25 scheduling or the selection of destinations and waypoints. 26 5. “Minimal risk condition” means a reasonably safe state 27 to which an automated driving system brings a system-equipped 28 vehicle upon experiencing a performance-relevant failure of the 29 system that renders the system unable to perform any dynamic 30 driving task, including but not limited to removing the vehicle 31 to the nearest shoulder if the vehicle is capable of doing so, 32 bringing the vehicle to a complete stop, and activating the 33 vehicle’s emergency signal lamps. 34 6. “On-demand driverless-capable vehicle network” means a 35 -1- HF535.1758 (1) 88 (amending this HF 535 to CONFORM to SF 302) ns/rh 1/ 5 #1.

transportation service network that uses a software application 1 or other digital means to dispatch driverless-capable vehicles 2 for the purposes of transporting persons or goods, including 3 transportation for hire as defined in section 325A.1, and 4 public transportation. 5 7. “Operational design domain” means a set of constraints 6 used to define the domain under which an automated driving 7 system is designed to properly operate, including but not 8 limited to types of highways, speed ranges, environmental 9 conditions such as weather or time of day, and other 10 constraints. 11 8. “System-equipped vehicle” means a motor vehicle equipped 12 with an automated driving system. 13 Sec. 2. NEW SECTION . 321.515 Operation. 14 1. A driverless-capable vehicle may operate on the public 15 highways of this state without a conventional human driver 16 physically present in the vehicle, if the vehicle meets all of 17 the following conditions: 18 a. The vehicle is capable of achieving a minimal risk 19 condition if a malfunction of the automated driving system 20 occurs that renders the system unable to perform any dynamic 21 driving task within the system’s intended operational design 22 domain, if any. 23 b. While in driverless operation, the vehicle is capable of 24 operating in compliance with the applicable traffic and motor 25 vehicle safety laws and regulations of this state that govern 26 the performance of dynamic driving tasks, unless an exemption 27 has been granted to the vehicle by the department. 28 c. The vehicle has been certified by the vehicle’s 29 manufacturer to be in compliance with all applicable federal 30 motor vehicle safety standards, except to the extent an 31 exemption has been granted for the vehicle under applicable 32 federal law or by the national highway traffic safety 33 administration. 34 2. a. The operation of a system-equipped vehicle capable 35 -2- HF535.1758 (1) 88 (amending this HF 535 to CONFORM to SF 302) ns/rh 2/ 5

of performing all dynamic driving tasks within the automated 1 driving system’s operational design domain on the public 2 highways of this state while a conventional human driver is 3 present in the vehicle shall be lawful. During such operation, 4 the conventional human driver shall possess a valid driver’s 5 license pursuant to section 321.174. The conventional human 6 driver shall operate the system-equipped vehicle according 7 to the manufacturer’s requirements and specifications, and 8 shall regain manual control of the vehicle when prompted by the 9 automated driving system. 10 b. An automated driving system, while engaged, shall be 11 designed to operate within the system’s operational design 12 domain in compliance with the applicable traffic and motor 13 vehicle safety laws and regulations of this state that govern 14 the performance of dynamic driving tasks, unless an exemption 15 has been granted to the vehicle by the department. 16 3. Except as provided in this section, the motor vehicle 17 laws of this state shall not be construed to require a 18 conventional human driver to operate a driverless-capable 19 vehicle that is being operated by an automated driving system. 20 The automated driving system, while engaged, shall be deemed 21 to fulfill any physical acts required of a conventional human 22 driver to perform dynamic driving tasks. 23 Sec. 3. NEW SECTION . 321.516 Insurance. 24 Before a system-equipped vehicle is allowed to operate on 25 the public highways of this state, the owner shall submit to 26 the department proof of financial liability coverage for the 27 vehicle in a manner and form determined by the department. A 28 system-equipped vehicle shall not operate on the highways of 29 this state unless financial liability coverage is in effect for 30 the vehicle and unless proof of financial liability coverage is 31 carried in the vehicle. If a system-equipped vehicle operates 32 on a highway in violation of this section, the owner of the 33 vehicle may be charged and convicted of a violation of section 34 321.20B as though the owner was operating the vehicle. 35 -3- HF535.1758 (1) 88 (amending this HF 535 to CONFORM to SF 302) ns/rh 3/ 5

Sec. 4. NEW SECTION . 321.517 Accidents. 1 In the event of an accident in which a system-equipped 2 vehicle is involved, the vehicle shall remain at the scene of 3 the accident and the operation of the vehicle shall otherwise 4 comply with sections 321.261 through 321.273 where applicable 5 and to the extent possible, and the vehicle’s owner or a person 6 on behalf of the vehicle’s owner shall promptly report the 7 accident to law enforcement authorities. If a system-equipped 8 vehicle fails to remain at the scene of an accident or the 9 operation of the vehicle fails to otherwise comply with 10 sections 321.261 through 321.273 where applicable and to the 11 extent possible as required by this section, the vehicle’s 12 failure shall be imputed to the vehicle’s owner, and the 13 vehicle’s owner may be charged and convicted of a violation of 14 sections 321.261 through 321.273, as applicable. However, if 15 the vehicle’s failure is due to an error or malfunction in the 16 automated driving system, the vehicle’s failure shall instead 17 be imputed to the vehicle’s manufacturer, and the vehicle’s 18 manufacturer may be charged and convicted for a violation of 19 sections 321.261 through 321.373, as applicable. 20 Sec. 5. NEW SECTION . 321.518 On-demand driverless-capable 21 vehicle network. 22 A person may operate an on-demand driverless-capable vehicle 23 network.
