equipped with such systems), including a short description 
of each such system that— 
‘‘(1) is sufficient for a consumer to identify the 
specific subtasks of the dynamic driving task the 
system is intended to perform; 
‘‘(2) indicates whether driver supervision is re-
quired during the execution of that subtask by the 
system; 
‘‘(3) describes the conditions that would place 
the system outside of the operational design domain, 
including any geographical restriction, time-of-day 
restriction, and road and environmental condition re-
striction; and 
‘‘(4) indicates whether such automated driving 
system requires additional service cost or fee, and if 
so, the service cost or fee on an annual basis.’’. 
(2) DEFINITIONS.—Section 2 of the Automobile 
Information Disclosure Act (15 U.S.C. 1231) is 
amended by adding at the end the following: 
‘‘(i) The terms ‘automated driving system’, ‘dynamic 
driving task’, ‘operational design domain’, ‘partially auto-
mated driving system’, and ‘purchaser’ have the meaning 
given those terms in section 2(h) of the ‘Know Before You 
Drive Act’.’’.

and tactical function required to operate a 
motor vehicle in on-road traffic. 
(B) INCLUSIONS.—The term ‘‘dynamic 
driving task’’ includes the following: 
(i) Controlling the lateral motion of a 
motor vehicle through steering. 
(ii) Controlling the longitudinal mo-
tion of a motor vehicle through accelera-

(iii) Monitoring the driving environ-
ment through the detection, recognition, 
and classification of objects and events. 
(iv) Preparing a response to an object 
or event. 
(v) Executing a response to an object 
or event. 
(vi) Planning a maneuver. 
(vii) Enhancing conspicuity through

(ii) selection of a destination; and 
(iii) selection of a waypoint. 
(5) OPERATIONAL DESIGN DOMAIN.—The term 
‘‘operational design domain’’ means the specific op-
erating conditions under which a given partially 
automated driving system, automated driving sys-
tem, or feature of such system is specifically de-
signed to function, including any environmental, geo-
graphical, and time-of-day restriction and the req-
uisite presence or absence of certain traffic or road-
way characteristics. 
(6) PARTIALLY
AUTOMATED
DRIVING
SYS-
TEM.—The term ‘‘partially automated driving sys-
tem’’ means a system of which the hardware and 
software collectively perform the lateral and longitu-
dinal vehicle motion control subtasks of the dynamic 
driving task with the expectation that the driver 
monitors the system and completes the object and 
event detection and response subtask. 
(7) PARTIALLY
AUTOMATED
VEHICLE.—The 
term ‘‘partially automated vehicle’’ means a motor 
vehicle that is equipped with a partially automated 
driving system.
