§ 47-1701.

Definitions.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles

As used in this act:

A. "Automated driving system or ADS" means hardware and

software that are collectively capable of performing the entire

dynamic task on a sustained basis, regardless of whether it is

limited to a specific operational design domain.

B. "Dynamic driving task" or "DDT" means all of the real-time

operational and tactical functions required to operate a vehicle in

on-road traffic, excluding the strategic functions such as trip

scheduling and selection of destinations and waypoints and including

without limitation:

1. Lateral vehicle motion control via steering;

2. Longitudinal vehicle motion control via acceleration and

deceleration;

3. Monitoring the driving environment via object and event

detection, recognition, classification and response preparation;

4. Object and event response execution;

5. Maneuver planning; and

6. Enhancing conspicuity via lighting, signaling and gesturing.

C. "DDT fallback" means the response by the person or human

driver to either perform the DDT or achieve a minimal risk condition

after occurrence of a DDT performance-relevant system failure(s) or

upon operation design domain exit, or the response by an automated

driving system to achieve minimal risk condition, given the same

circumstances.

D. "Fully autonomous vehicle" means a motor vehicle equipped

with an automated driving system designed to function without a

human driver as a level 4 or 5 system under SAE J3016B.

E. "Human driver" means a natural person in the vehicle with a

valid license to operate a motor vehicle who controls all or part of

the dynamic driving task.

F. "Minimal risk condition" means a condition to which a

person, human driver, or an ADS may bring a vehicle after performing

the DDT fallback in order to reduce the risk of a crash when a given

trip cannot or should not be completed.

G. "On-demand autonomous vehicle network" means a

transportation service network that uses a software application or

other digital means to dispatch or otherwise enable the

prearrangement of transportation with fully autonomous vehicles for

purposes of transporting passengers or goods including for-hire

transportation and transportation of passengers or goods for

compensation.

H. "Operational design domain" or "ODD" means operating

conditions under which a given automated driving system is

specifically designed to function including, but not limited to,

environmental, geographical, and time-of-day restrictions, and the

requisite presence or absence of certain traffic or roadway

characteristics.

J. "Request to intervene" means notification by an automated

driving system to a human driver that the human driver should

promptly begin or resume performance of part or all of the dynamic

driving task.

K. "SAE J3016B" means the Taxonomy and Definitions for Terms

Related to Driving Automation Systems for On-Road Motor Vehicles

published by SAE International in June 2018.
