Haw. Code R. § 19-150-1
Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, as used in this chapter:
"ADS-equipped vehicle" means a vehicle equipped with an Automated Driving System.
"Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems" and "ADAS" mean systems designed to help drivers with certain driving tasks (e.g., staying in the lane, parking, avoiding crashes, reducing blind spots, and maintaining a safe headway).
"Automated driving system" and "ADS" mean the hardware and software that are collectively capable of performing the entire dynamic driving task on a sustained basis, regardless of whether it is limited to a specific operational design domain.
"Automated mode" means the mode that is set in the vehicle in order for the automated actions to take over and the driver or user does not control the functions of the vehicle.
"Automated vehicle" and "AV" means an automated-driving-system-equipped vehicle capable of performing all aspects of the dynamic driving task within its operational design domain, if any, including achieving a minimal risk condition, without the intervention or supervision, by a conventional human driver.
"Crash report" means a report completed by a law enforcement officer who investigates a motor vehicle crash.
"Data collection mechanisms" and "DCM" mean recording media, including but not limited to on-board electronic data recorders, on-board computer processing units, and cloud-based computer processing units.
"Department" means the Department of Transportation.
"Driver" means a human user who performs in real-time part or all of the dynamic driving task and dynamic driving task fallback for a particular vehicle. In a vehicle equipped with an ADS, a driver may in some vehicles assume or resume performance of part or all of the dynamic driving task from the ADS during a given trip.
"Driver history" means the record containing all convictions and other licensing actions of each driver.
"Driver testing" means the examination of an applicant to determine whether the applicant possesses the knowledge, skills, and ability to safely operate a vehicle on public roadways.
"Dynamic driving task" and "DDT" mean all of the real-time operational and tactical functions required to operate a vehicle in on-road traffic.
"Endorsement" means an authorization to an individual's driver's license permitting the individual to operate certain types of vehicles.
"Human-machine interface" and "HMI" mean software and hardware that displays process status information, historical information, reports, and other information to operators, administrators, managers, business partners, and other authorized users and allows:
(1) Human operators to monitor the state of a process under control, modify control settings to change the control objective, and manually override automatic control operations in the event of an emergency; and
(2) Control engineers or operators to configure set points or control algorithms and parameters in the controller, and to monitor and configure set points, control algorithms, send commands, and adjust and establish parameters in the controller.
"Level 0 - No Driving Automation" means the SAE classification of vehicle automation in which the driver performs the entire dynamic driving task even when enhanced by active safety systems.
"Level 1 - Driver Assistance" means the SAE classification of vehicle automation in which sustained and operational design domain-specific execution by a driving automation system of either the lateral or the longitudinal vehicle motion control subtask of the dynamic driving task (but not both simultaneously) with the expectation that the driver performs the remainder of the dynamic driving task.
"Level 2 - Partial Driving Automation" means the SAE classification of vehicle automation in which the sustained and operational design domain-specific execution by an ADS of both the lateral and longitudinal vehicle motion control subtasks of the dynamic driving task with the expectation that the driver completes the object and event detection and response subtask and supervises the ADS.
"Level 3 - Conditional Driving Automation" means the SAE classification of vehicle automation in which the sustained and operational design domain-specific performance by an automated driving system of the entire dynamic driving task with the expectation that the dynamic driving task fallback-ready user is receptive to automated driving system issued requests to intervene, as well as to dynamic driving task performance relevant system failures in other vehicle systems, and will respond appropriately.
"Level 4 - High Driving Automation" means the SAE classification of vehicle automation in which the sustained and operational design domain-specific performance by an automated driving system of the entire dynamic driving task and dynamic driving task fallback without any expectation that a user will respond to a request to intervene.
"Level 5 - Full Driving Automation" means the SAE classification of vehicle automation in which the sustained and unconditional (i.e., not operational design domain-specific) performance by an automated driving system of the entire dynamic driving task and dynamic driving task fallback without any expectation that a user will respond to a request to intervene.
"Manufacturer" means an individual or company that designs, produces, or constructs vehicles or equipment. The term includes original equipment manufacturers, multiple and final stage manufacturers, modifiers or upfitters.
"Non-drivers" means a user of an automated vehicle who normally would not be able to drive a vehicle (i.e., because of age limitations or disabilities).
"Occupant" means a human in the vehicle, regardless of role or responsibility.
"Other entities" means any individual, institution or company, that is not a manufacturer, involved with helping to design, supply, test, operate, or deploy automated vehicles, technology, or equipment.
"Permit" means the valid document issued by the Department granting authorization to a manufacturer to conduct testing of its autonomous vehicles on public highways and roadways.
"Remote driver" means a driver who is not seated in a position to manually exercise in-vehicle braking, accelerating, steering, and transmission gear selection input devices but is able to operate the vehicle.
"Reportable crash" means a collision resulting in a person's injury or death or property damage pursuant to section 291C-16(a), Hawaii Revised Statutes.
"Request to Intervene" means that notification by the automated driving system to a driver indicating that the driver should promptly perform the dynamic driving task fallback.
"Society of Automotive Engineers International" and 'SAE" mean an automotive and aerospace standard setting body that coordinates development of voluntary consensus standards.
"Testing" means the operation of an ADS-equipped vehicle on public roads by employees, contractors, or designees of a manufacturer or other entities for the purpose of assessing, demonstrating, and validating the automated driving system capabilities.
