If the manufacturer deploys any vehicle equipped with autonomous vehicle
functions that were not disclosed in the manufacturer's Application for a
Permit to Deploy Autonomous Vehicles on Public Streets.
(3) If the manufacturer has misrepresented
any information related to safety of the autonomous technology of its
vehicles.
(4) If the National

of the manufacturer's vehicles makes inoperative any federally required motor
vehicle safety systems.

Traffic Safety Administration recall related to the vehicle's autonomous
technology. Such immediate suspension shall apply only to those vehicles the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has deemed subject to the open
recall.

performance of the vehicles, the department determines the manufacturer's
vehicles are not safe for the public's operation.
(c) Upon suspension or revocation by the
department of a Permit to Deploy Autonomous Vehicles on Public Streets, a
manufacturer shall cease all further deployments of affected autonomous
vehicles with the affected autonomous technology feature enabled on public
streets until the department has verified that the manufacturer has taken
appropriate action to correct the deficiencies or complied with the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall that led to the suspension or
revocation and the suspension has been lifted or the revocation withdrawn by
the department.
(d) Upon suspension
or revocation by the department of a Permit to Deploy Autonomous Vehicles on
