SF 4010 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Certain autonomous vehicles regulations provision

SF 4010 defines key terms for autonomous vehicle regulations in Minnesota, adding new definitions to the state's vehicle code. It establishes terms like "automated driving system," "autonomous vehicle" (level 4/5 SAE systems), "dynamic driving task," and "first responder interaction plan" to clarify how these vehicles operate and how emergencies should be handled. This bill directly affects autonomous vehicle manufacturers, operators of on-demand autonomous networks, and first responders who will use these definitions in future regulations. It does not create new operational rules but sets the foundation for future safety and interaction protocols. The bill is procedural, focusing on terminology rather than immediate policy changes.
