Bill > S3536

This bill, titled the "Stay in Your Lane Act," aims to enhance the safety of driving automation systems, which are defined as the hardware and software capable of controlling a vehicle's movement on a sustained basis. The key provision requires manufacturers of these systems to define and adhere to an "operational design domain," meaning the specific conditions under which the system is designed to function safely, including restrictions on environment, geography, time of day, and the presence of other road users or roadway features. Manufacturers must submit this definition to the Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and make it publicly available on their websites. The bill also clarifies that these operational design domain requirements are considered motor vehicle safety standards and establishes civil penalties for violations, ensuring that these advanced driving systems operate within their intended safe parameters.
