ADS: Consolidated inputs for guidance and interpretation document
Reference Number: ADS-20-12/Rev.1

This document consolidates inputs from Officers of Principal Interest (OPI) on the Automated Driving Systems (ADS) Guidance and Interpretation Document and organizes content into regulatory text, guidance, comments, and examples to facilitate April-May 2026 Workshop discussions. The document provides interpretation of UN Global Technical Regulation and UN Regulation requirements on ADS, addressing safety performance of the Dynamic Driving Task in nominal, critical, and failure situations; interactions between ADS and users; post-deployment safety monitoring through Safety Performance Indicators; Safety Management System audit criteria; and simulation credibility frameworks for verification and validation, while emphasizing that guidance does not introduce new requirements and that the Regulations remain the sole authoritative texts under 1958 and 1998 Agreements.

136. AC.3 noted the information, as of 18 June 2019, on the status of the Agreement of the Global Registry and of the Compendium of Candidates (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1073/Rev.25), the status of the priorities of the 1998 Agreement (based on WP.29-178-08 as reproduced in Annex IV to the session report) and items on which the exchange of views should continue. AC.3 noted that notifications and the mandatory reports on the transposition process through their Permanent Missions in Geneva to the secretariat, are publicly accessible. AC.3 recalled its agreement to always send the above-mentioned reports and notifications through their Permanent Missions in Geneva and directly to the secretariat (email: edoardo.gianotti@un.org) to ensure updating of the status document, which is the monitoring tool of the agreement. AC.3 reiterated its request to its representatives to provide the secretariat with the coordinates of their corresponding focal points to the agreement, appointed in their capitals to draft the reports and notifications to keep them informed in the exchange of information through the above-mentioned website.
