38. The Chairman recalled that the following GRE priorities had been included in the draft WP.29 Programme of Work (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2021/1):

1. Stage 2 of the simplification of lighting and light-signalling UN Regulations with the aim to become future proof and technology neutral, with performance-based and objective test requirements.
2. Further development of the installation UN Regulations Nos. 48, 53, 74 and 86.
3. improvements and clarifications including visibility and glare (headlamps, headlamp levelling, direction indicators, daytime running lamps, rear position lamps, etc.).
4. Further development of EMC requirements (UN Regulation No. 10).
5. Suitable application of the ‘Unique Identifier’ (‘UI’) for the lighting UN Regulations.

39. The expert from the Task Force on Autonomous Vehicle Signalling Requirements (TF AVSR) reported on their progress (GRE-84-19). He also mentioned a recent EC study on the effects of automation on road user behaviour and performance. GRE noted that a policy decision on the signalling requirements of autonomous vehicles fell in the scope of the Working Party on Automated/Autonomous and Connected Vehicles (GRVA) and its Informal Working Group on Functional Requirements of Automated/Autonomous Vehicles (IWG FRAV). GRE invited its Chair to contact the GRVA and IWG FRAV Chairs and to seek guidance on light-signalling requirements for autonomous vehicles. GRE agreed that the activities of TF AVSR would be put on hold until such guidance was received.

40. GRE was informed that the Task Force (TF) on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) resumed its activities. GRE took note of the TF EMC status report (GRE-84-11), including the additional input from the expert from the Netherlands, and recalled that UN Regulation No. 10 was included in the list of GRE priorities. GRE experts were invited to participate in the TF EMC activities.
