Agenda Item 16.
Exchange of Views on Vehicle Automation

37. The secretary of GRVA informed GRSG on the last outcome of work of the group. He underlined that GRVA was in the pre-regulatory phase and that the working group had specific items to liaise with GRSG such as DSSAD, new vehicle categories and amendments to UN Regulations as a follow-up of the Automated Vehicles Regulatory Screening (AVRS). He said that ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRVA/2023/18 indicated that UN Regulations Nos. 43, 107, 160, and R.E.3 and S.R.1 were priorities for amendment by GRSG. The expert from the Netherlands informed GRSG that during the week of 16 to 20 October 2023, the representatives of TF- AVRS would convene in Paris to discuss the way forward. He urged a responsive start of the activities on new categories of vehicles and amendments needed to the above-mentioned UN Regulations and Resolutions. Finally, GRSG agreed to resume considerations on the categorization of automated vehicles and amendments on priority UN Regulations based on the follow-up of the meeting of TF-AVRS representatives.
