States Code, is amended by inserting after section 30128 the following
new section:
''Sec. 30129. Updated or new motor vehicle safety standards for highly
automated vehicles
''(a) Safety Assessment Certification.--
''(1) Final rule.--Not later than 24 months after the date
of the enactment of this section, the Secretary of
Transportation shall issue a final rule requiring the
submission of safety assessment certifications regarding how
safety is being addressed by each entity developing a highly
automated vehicle or an automated driving system. Such rule
shall include--
''(A) a specification of which entities are
required to submit such certifications;
''(B) a clear description of the relevant test
results, data, and other contents required to be
submitted by such entity, in order to demonstrate that
such entity's vehicles are likely to maintain safety,
and function as intended and contain fail safe
features, to be included in such certifications; and
''(C) a specification of the circumstances under
which such certifications are required to be updated or
resubmitted.
''(2) Interim requirement.--Until the final rule issued
under paragraph (1) takes effect, safety assessment letters
shall be submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration as contemplated by the Federal Automated
Vehicles Policy issued in September 2016, or any successor
guidance issued on highly automated vehicles requiring a safety
assessment letter.
''(3) Periodic review and updating.--Not later than 5 years
after the date on which the final rule is issued under
paragraph (1), and not less frequently than every 5 years
thereafter, the Secretary shall--
''(A) review such rule; and
''(B) update such rule if the Secretary considers
it necessary.
''(4) Rules of construction.--
''(A) No conditions on deployment.--Nothing in this
subsection may be construed to limit or affect the
Secretary's authority under any other provision of law.
The Secretary may not condition deployment or testing
of highly automated vehicles on review of safety
assessment certifications.
''(B) No new authorities.--No new authorities are
granted to the Secretary under this section other than
the promulgation of the rule pursuant to paragraph (1).
''(b) Review and Research.--To accommodate the development and
deployment of highly automated vehicles and to ensure the safety and
security of highly automated vehicles and motor vehicles and others
that will share the roads with highly automated vehicles, not later
than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this section, the
Secretary shall--
''(1) initiate or continue a review of the Federal motor
vehicle safety standards in effect on such date of enactment;

enactment of this section, the Secretary shall make available
to the public and submit to the Committee on Energy and
Commerce of the House of Representatives and the Committee on
Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate a
rulemaking and safety priority plan, as necessary to
accommodate the development and deployment of highly automated
vehicles and to ensure the safety and security of highly
automated vehicles and motor vehicles and others that will
share the roads with highly automated vehicles, to--
''(A) update the motor vehicle safety standards in
effect on such date of enactment;
''(B) issue new motor vehicle safety standards; and
''(C) consider how objective ranges in performance
standards could be used to test motor vehicle safety
standards, which safety standards would be appropriate
for such testing, and whether additional authority

(1) shall detail the overall priorities of the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the 5 years
following the issuance of the plan, including both
priorities with respect to highly automated vehicles
and priorities with respect to other safety initiatives
of the Administration, in order to meet the Nation's
motor vehicle safety challenges.
''(B) Identification of elements that may require
standards.--For highly automated vehicles, the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration should identify
elements that may require performance standards
including human machine interface and sensors and
actuators, and consider process and procedure standards
for software and cybersecurity as necessary.
''(3) Periodic updating.--The plan required by paragraph
(1) shall be updated every 2 years, or more frequently if the
Secretary considers it necessary.
''(d) Rulemaking Proceedings on Updated or New Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards.--
''(1) In general.--Not later than 18 months after the date
of enactment of this section, the Secretary shall initiate the
first rulemaking proceeding in accordance with the rulemaking
and safety priority plan required by subsection (c).
''(2) Prioritization of subsequent proceedings.--The
Secretary shall continue initiating rulemaking proceedings in
accordance with such plan. The Secretary may change at any time
those priorities to address matters the Secretary considers of
greater priority. If the Secretary makes such a change, the
Secretary shall complete an interim update of the priority
plan, make such update available to the public, and submit such
update to the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of
Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, Science, and
Transportation of the Senate.''.
