27. The GRRF chair informed WP.29 about the submission by GRRF of the revised Terms of Reference and Rules of Procedures of the informal group on Automatically Commanded Steering Functions (ACSF) as reproduced in the annex of the session’s report.

28. The representative of OICA wondered why the IWG on ACSF was prioritizing its work on the complex Category E ACSF systems instead of starting with the more basic categories, and using the experience so gained to develop the requirements for the higher categories. The Chair of GRRF answered that the IWG had chosen a top down approach, starting with the provisions for the Category E to make sure that the relevant requirements cascade down through the other ACSF Categories. The representative of Germany added that no delay was expected because of the approach chosen and that with this approach, all ACSF categories would be addressed.

22. The World Forum recalled the oral report of the Chair of GRRF given during the 167th session (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1118, paras. 26-29) and approved the report.
