Proposal to:
Proposal to establish terms of reference and rules of procedure for the new IWG on EDR, successor to the IWG on EDR/DSSAD. The proposal would mandate the IWG to develop a draft proposal for EDR for automated/autonomous vehicles to be incorporated in UN R160 and UN R169, and to explore future amendments to UN R160 and UN R169 improving usefulness of EDR data, including data survivability during post-crash fires, improved triggering sensitivity, and extension of data elements and data format. The IWG would report to GRSG, reach decisions by consensus, and coordinate with the IWG on ADS2 on matters of common interest.
Agenda for the first conference call meeting of the IWG on EDR, scheduled for 30 November 2026. The meeting will cover welcome and introduction, approval of the agenda and previous session reports, preparation of a proposal for new Terms of Reference for the IWG on EDR, continuation of discussions on items for the EDR Step 3 workstream, EDR for ADS, and any other business.
