54. Recalling the discussion on this subject at the previous GRSG session, the expert from UK acknowledged that the use of Event Data Recorder was probably not the correct terminology and could be misleading. GRSG noted the ongoing discussions in WP.29 on “autonomous vehicles” and the progress of work done by the IWG on ITS and specifically by its subgroup on Automated Driving (ITS/AD). The expert from Germany underlined the importance to exchange view in GRSG on this specific subject. He stressed the need to develop a new Regulation on optional installation on vehicles of such devices and to define the technical parameters to be stored, including the access and security of the data. GRSG endorsed that position and agreed that such an activity should be coordinated with ITS/AD and other Working Parties involved in automated driving activities, such as GRRF.

55. The expert from UK volunteered to prepare a concrete proposal on the possible distribution of these tasks within the subsidiary bodies of WP.29, for consideration at the next GRSG session. GRSG noted that the forthcoming meeting of ITS/AD was scheduled to be held in Geneva on 3 November 2015 (afternoon only).
