''Minimal“Minimal rrisk iscondition” kmeans conditionmeans a reasonably safe stastate te to which an automated driving system brings a system-equipped vehicle upon experiencing a performance-relevant fafailure ilu re of the system ththat at renders the system unable to perform the eentire n tire dynamic driving task, including but not limlimited ited to removing the vehicle to the nearest shoulder iif f the vehicle is capable of doing so, bringing the vehicle to a complete stop, and activating the vvehicle’s eh icle's emergency signal lamps.

''on-demand“On-demand driverless-capable vehicle network"network” means a transportation service network ththat at uses a software application or other ddigital ig ita l means to dispatch driverless-capable vehicles for the purposes of transporting persons or goods, including transportation for hire as defined in section 325A.l,325A.1, and public transportation.

~System-equipped“System-equipped vehvehicle” icle-meansmeans a motor vehicle equipped with an automated driving system.

A driverless-capable vehicle may operate on the public highways of ththis isstate sta te without a conventional human driver physically present in the vehicle, iif f the vehicle meets aall ll of the following conditions:

The vehicle is capable of achieving a minimal risk condition iif f a malfunction of the automated driving system occurs ththat at renders the system unable to perform the eentire n tire dynamic driving task wwithin ithin the systemsystem’s 's intended operational design domain, iif f any.

While in ddriverless riv erless operation, the vehicle is capable of operating in compliance with the applicable trtraffic a f f ic and motor vehicle safety laws and regulations of ththis isstate sthat ta te th at govern the performance of the dynamic driving task, unless an exemption has been granted to the vehicle by the department.

Senate FFile ile 302, pp. .

The vehicle has been ccertified e rtifie d by the vvehicle’s eh icle's manufacturer to be in compliance with aall l l applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards, except to the extent an exemption has been granted for the vehicle under applicable federal law or by the national highway trtraffic a f f ic safety admadministration. inistration.

The operation of a system-equipped vehicle capable of performing the eentire n tire dynamic driving task wwithin ithin the automated driving systemsystem’s 's operational design domain on the public highways of ththis isstate s ta te while a conventional human driver is present in the vehicle shshall a ll be lawlawful. ful.

During such operation, the conventional human driver shshall a ll possess a valid ddriver’s riv e r's license pursuant to section 321.174 and shshall a ll be subject to the financial lialiability b ility coverage requirements and ppenalties enset alties se t forth under section 321.20B.

The conventional human driver shshall a ll operate the system-equipped vehicle according to the mmanufacturer’s anufacturer's requirements and spspecifications, ecificatio n s, and shshall a ll regain manual control of the vehicle when prompted by the automated driving system.

An automated driving system, while engaged, shshall a ll be designed to operate wwithin ithin the systemsystem’s 's operational design domain in compliance with the applicable trtraffic a f f ic and motor vehicle safety laws and regulations of ththis isstate sthat ta te th at govern the performance of the dynamic driving task, unless an exemption has been granted to the vehicle by the department.

Except as provided in ththis is section, the motor vehicle laws of ththis isstate sshall ta te sh a ll not be construed to require a conventional human driver to operate a driverless-capable vehicle ththat at is being operated by an automated driving system.

The automated driving system, while engaged, shshall a ll be deemed to ffulfill u l f i l l any physical acts required of a conventional human driver to perform the dynamic driving task.

Before a system-equipped vehicle is allowed to operate on the public highways of ththis isstate, s ta te , the owner shshall a ll obtain finfinancial anliability cial lia b ility coverage for the vehicle.

A system-equipped vehicle shshall a ll not operate on the highways of ththis isstate s ta te unless finfinancial anliability cial lia b ility coverage is in eeffect ffe c t for the vehicle and unless proof of financial lialiability b ility coverage is Senate FFile ile 302, p.

In the event of an accident in which a system-equipped vehicle is involved, the vehicle shshall all remain aat t the scene of the accident and the operation of the vehicle shshall all otherwise comply with sections 321.261 through 321.273 where applicable and to the extent possible, and the vvehicle’s eh icle's owner or a person on behalf of the vvehicle’s e h ic le 's owner shshall a ll promptly report the accident to law enforcement aauthorities. u th o ritie s.

If a system-equipped vehicle fafails ils to remain aat t the scene of an accident or the operation of the vehicle ffails a ils to otherwise comply with sections 321.261 through 321.273 where applicable and to the extent possible as required by ththis is section, the vvehicle’s ehfailure icle'sshall fa ilu re sh all be imputed to the vvehicle’s eh icle's owner, and the vvehicle’s eh icle's owner may be charged and convicted of a vviolation io latio n of sections 321.261 through 321.273, as applicable.

An on-demand driverless-capable vehicle network may be used to ffacilitate a c ilita te the transportation of persons or goods, including transportation for hhire ire as defined in section 325A.l,325A.1, and public trantransportation. sp o rtatio n An on-demand driverless-capable vehicle network may connect passengers to driverless-capable vehicles eith er exclusively or as p art of a d ig ita l network th at also connects passengers to conventional human drivers who provide transportation services, consistent with chapter 321N or any other applicable laws, in vehicles th at are not driverless-capable vehicles.

An on-demand driverless-capable vehicle network may connect passengers to driverless-capable vehicles either exclusively or as part of a digital network that also connects passengers to conventional human drivers who provide transportation services, consistent with chapter 321N or any other applicable laws, in vehicles that are not driverless-capable vehicles.

Automated driving systems and system-equipped vehicles shshall a ll be governed by sections 321.514 through 321.518, ththis is section, and aall l l applicable trtraffic a f f ic and motor vehicle safety laws and regulations of ththis isstate. s ta te .
