What Is a First Responder Interaction Plan?
A first responder interaction plan is the law-enforcement and emergency-responder interaction plan a commercial automated-vehicle authorization holder must file with the Texas Department of Public Safety (37 Tex. Admin. Code §§ 39.1-39.3). The plan must address safe towing, vehicle shutoff, operational contacts, and roadside safety.
The requirement sits inside the commercial driverless authorization framework: TxDMV authorizes the operation, and DPS receives the interaction plan. The plan is a filing duty, not a liability rule; it does not by itself determine civil liability after an injury.
