Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 28 / Tuesday, February 11, 2020 / Notices
acceleration of at least 0.7g on any axis for
at least 150 ms, or of any incidents in which
the vehicle has an unexpected interaction
with humans or other objects (other than
crashes that require immediate reporting).
• Detailed descriptions of all instances in
which a public safety official, including law
enforcement, has attempted to interact with
an R2X, such as to pull it over, or has
contacted Nuro regarding an attempted
interaction with the R2X.
• Detailed descriptions of any ‘‘minimal
risk condition fallback’’ 94 or ‘‘remote
operator takeover’’ 95 events that have
occurred, even if no crash has occurred. If the
event has occurred because the vehicle selfdiagnosed a malfunction of a vehicle system,
the report must include a detailed
description of the cause and nature of the
malfunction, and what remedial steps were
taken. If the event was caused by the vehicle
encountering a complex or unexpected
driving situation, the report must include a
detailed timeline of the ADS’s decisionmaking process that led to the event,
including any difficulties the ADS had in
detecting and classifying objects. For any
remote operator takeover event, Nuro must
provide information about any technical
issues encountered, such as signal latency.
In addition, Nuro must make necessary
staff available to meet with NHTSA staff
quarterly to discuss the status of its
deployment program.
3. Cybersecurity
• Nuro must have a documented
cybersecurity incident response plan that
includes its risk mitigation strategies and the
incident notification requirements listed
below.
• Nuro must cease operations of all R2X
vehicles immediately upon becoming aware
of any cybersecurity incident 96 involving the
R2X and any systems connected to the R2X
that has the potential to impact the safety of
the R2X.
• No later than 24 hours after being made
aware of a cybersecurity incident, Nuro must
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
94 The
term ‘‘minimal risk condition fallback’’
refers to a situation in which the ADS pulls over
using a ‘‘failsafe trajectory,’’ as described on page
21 of Nuro’s VSSA, which Nuro submitted as an
attachment to its comment. See Docket No.
NHTSA–2019–0017–0023.
95 The term ‘‘remote operator takeover’’ refers to
a situation in which a remote operator takes control
of a vehicle either because the ADS recommends
remote operation, or because the remote operator
deems it appropriate without being prompted by
the ADS.
96 As used in these terms, ‘‘incident’’ is defined
as an occurrence that jeopardizes the functionality,
confidentiality, integrity, or availability of a vehicle
computing platform through the potential use of an
exploit. ‘‘Exploit’’ refers to an action that takes
advantage of a vulnerability to cause unintended or
unanticipated behavior to occur on computer
software and/or hardware.

inform NHTSA’s Office of Defects
Investigations (ODI) of the incident. Nuro
must also respond to any additional requests
for information from NHTSA on the
cybersecurity incident.
• Prior to resuming its operation of R2X
vehicles following the discovery of a
cybersecurity incident, Nuro must inform
NHTSA of the steps it has taken to patch the
vulnerability and mitigate the risks
associated with the incident, and receive
NHTSA approval to resume operation.
4. Other Conditions
• Nuro must be capable of issuing a ‘‘stop
order’’ that causes all deployed R2X vehicles
to, as quickly as possible, cease operations in
a safe manner, in the event that NHTSA or
Nuro determines that the exempted vehicles
present an unreasonable or unforeseen risk to
safety.
• Nuro must coordinate any planned
deployment of the R2X or change to the ADS/
ODD with state and local authorities with
jurisdiction over the operation of the vehicle
as required by the laws or regulations of that
jurisdiction.
• The R2X must comply with all state and
local laws and requirements at all times
while in operation. Each vehicle must be
duly permitted, if applicable, and authorized
to operate within all properties and upon all
roadways traversed.
• Nuro must maintain ownership and
operational control over the R2Xs that are
built pursuant to this exemption for the life
of the vehicles.
• Nuro must create and maintain a hotline
or other method of communication for the
public and Nuro employees to directly
communicate feedback or potential safety
concerns about the R2X to the company.
