The AV Safety Data Act requires manufacturers and operators of autonomous vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems to report detailed safety data to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Within 90 days of the bill's enactment, NHTSA must establish regulations requiring companies to submit monthly reports covering miles traveled, collisions involving injuries, and "unplanned stoppage events" where the vehicle stops unexpectedly on a public road. The reported data must include vehicle identification, location, time, weather conditions, and response details, with limited exceptions for Level 2 driver assistance systems that exclude personal driver information. Beginning 120 days after enactment, NHTSA will make all submitted reports publicly available in a machine-readable format so the public can access autonomous vehicle safety information. The reporting requirements will remain in effect for at least 10 years, after which NHTSA may reduce their scope.
