Automated Driving Safety: Mandatory System Operating Limits and Public Disclosure.

This Act establishes new safety rules for vehicles equipped with automated driving systems. Manufacturers must legally restrict these systems to operate only within defined conditions where they are designed to function safely (e.g., specific weather or road types). These limitations must be publicly disclosed, increasing transparency and safety for drivers using these technologies.
Key points
Manufacturers of automated driving systems must ensure these systems do not operate outside their defined safe operating conditions (Operational Design Domain).
Manufacturers are required to publicly declare and publish the exact safe operating conditions for their systems on a publicly accessible website.
Violations of these new safety requirements regarding operating limits will result in civil penalties for manufacturers.
