SECTION 1. CYBERSECURITY OF AUTOMATED DRIVING SYSTEMS.

    (a) In General.--Chapter 301 of subtitle VI of title 49, United 
States Code, is amended by inserting after section 30129 (as added by 
section 4) the following new section:
``Sec. 30130. Cybersecurity of automated driving systems
    ``(a) Cybersecurity Plan.--A manufacturer may not sell, offer for 
sale, introduce or deliver for introduction into commerce, or import 
into the United States, any highly automated vehicle, vehicle that 
performs partial driving automation, or automated driving system unless 
such manufacturer has developed a cybersecurity plan that includes the 
following:
            ``(1) A written cybersecurity policy with respect to the 
        practices of the manufacturer for detecting and responding to 
        cyber attacks, unauthorized intrusions, and false and spurious 
        messages or vehicle control commands. This policy shall 
        include--
                    ``(A) a process for identifying, assessing, and 
                mitigating reasonably foreseeable vulnerabilities from 
                cyber attacks or unauthorized intrusions, including 
                false and spurious messages and malicious vehicle 
                control commands; and
                    ``(B) a process for taking preventive and 
                corrective action to mitigate against vulnerabilities 
                in a highly automated vehicle or a vehicle that 
                performs partial driving automation, including incident 
                response plans, intrusion detection and prevention 
                systems that safeguard key controls, systems, and 
                procedures through testing or monitoring, and updates 
                to such process based on changed circumstances.
            ``(2) The identification of an officer or other individual 
        of the manufacturer as the point of contact with responsibility 
        for the management of cybersecurity.
            ``(3) A process for limiting access to automated driving 
        systems.
            ``(4) A process for employee training and supervision for 
        implementation and maintenance of the policies and procedures 
        required by this section, including controls on employee access 
        to automated driving systems.
    ``(b) Effective Date.--This section shall take effect 180 days 
after the date of enactment of this section.''.
    (b) Enforcement Authority.--Section 30165(a)(1) of title 49, United

        Report J3016, it shall notify the Secretary of the revision. 
        The Secretary shall publish a notice in the Federal Register to 
        inform the public of the new definition unless, within 90 days 
        after receiving notice of the new definition and after opening 
        a period for public comment on the new definition, the 
        Secretary notifies SAE International (or its successor 
        organization) that the Secretary has determined that the new 
        definition does not meet the need for motor vehicle safety, or 
        is otherwise inconsistent with the purposes of this chapter. If 
        the Secretary so notifies SAE International (or its successor

        update any of the definitions in paragraph (1), (6), or (14) of 
        subsection (a) if the Secretary determines that materially 
        changed circumstances regarding highly automated vehicles have 
        impacted motor vehicle safety such that the definitions need to 
        be updated to reflect such circumstances.''.
