Stay in Your Lane Act

This bill would require companies that make driving automation systems (hardware and software that can steer, speed up, and brake a vehicle on their own) to make sure those systems do not operate outside their "operational design domain." That domain is the set of conditions, such as location, weather, time of day, and road features, that the manufacturer defines as where the system is designed to work safely. Manufacturers would have to submit a written declaration of these conditions to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and post the same declaration on a public website. Violating the operating-limit requirement would be subject to federal civil penalties. The bill would take effect 180 days after it becomes law.
