Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by adding Section 3-805.10 as follows:

(625 ILCS 5/3-805.10 new)

Sec. 3-805.10. Autonomous vehicles.

(a) As used in this Section:

"Automated driving system" means a motor vehicle's hardware and software that is collectively capable of performing the entire dynamic driving task on a sustained basis, regardless of whether the system is limited to a specific operational design domain, in a reasonably safe manner.

"Autonomous vehicle" means a motor vehicle equipped with a Level 3, 4, or 5 automated driving system, as defined in SAE J3016.

"Driver" means an individual person who has a valid driver's license issued under this Code or another recognized jurisdiction.

"Dynamic driving task" means the operation and tactical aspects of driving or operating a motor vehicle. "Dynamic driving task" does not include the strategic aspects, such as determining destinations or routes, of operating a motor vehicle.

"Level 3 automated driving system" means the driving mode-specific performance by an automated driving system of all aspects of the dynamic driving task with the expectation that the human driver will respond appropriately to a request to intervene.

"Level 4 automated driving system" means the driving mode-specific performance by an automated driving system of all aspects of the dynamic driving task, even if a human driver does not respond appropriately to a request to intervene.

"Level 5 automated driving system" means the full-time performance by an automated driving system of all aspects of the dynamic driving task under all roadway and environmental conditions that can be managed by a human driver.

(b) The Secretary shall develop a unique registration plate to identify an autonomous vehicle of 12,000 pounds or less. The unique registration plate shall, in accordance with the registration fees based on weight set forth in Section 3-815 of this Code, be issued or renewed on an annual basis.

(c) Prior to the issuance of any registration to an autonomous motor vehicle, the owner of an autonomous vehicle shall provide proof of insurance to the Secretary by providing either a certificate of insurance or a surety bond; the certificate of insurance or surety bond is to be posted with the Secretary of State in the amount to be set by rule, but in an amount no less than $1,000,000 nor more than $5,000,000.
