Summary

American Vision for Safer Transportation through Advancement of Revolutionary Technologies Act or the AV START Act This bill: (1) establishes a framework for a federal role in ensuring the safety of highly automated vehicles (HAVs) by encouraging the testing and deployment of such vehicles; and (2) preempts states from enacting laws regarding the design, construction, or performance of HAVs or automated driving systems. A state may not issue a motor vehicle operator's license for the use of an HAV in a manner that discriminates based on disability. The bill: (1) sets forth conditions under which HAVs may be introduced into interstate commerce for purposes of testing, evaluation, or demonstration; and (2) applies certain safety exemptions to HAVs. Each manufacturer introducing a new HAV or automated driving system into interstate commerce shall provide a safety evaluation report. The Department of Transportation shall: (1) establish a technical committee to make recommendations for HAV and automated driving system safety, (2) establish a working group on education efforts for advanced driver assist and automated driving systems, and (3) research the traffic safety implications of HAVs. Each manufacturer of an HAV or automated driving system shall execute a written plan for identifying and reducing cybersecurity risks to the motor vehicle safety of such vehicles and systems.
