8. The expert from Germany, Secretary of the Informal Working Group (IWG) on Automatically Commanded Steering Function (ACSF), presented the status report of the group GRVA-05-25, introducing the content of GRVA-05-07, proposing the text for a new UN Regulation on Automated Lane Keeping Systems (ALKS) with empty sections as placeholder for the work prepared by the IWG on Validation Methods for Automated Driving (VMAD) and the IWG on Event Data Recorder (EDR) / Data Storage Systems for Automated Driving (DSSAD). GRVA reviewed in detail GRVA-05-07 and sought consensus on provisions in square brackets.

17. GRVA requested the Secretary to consolidate the ALKS, DSSAD and VMAD documents (GRVA-05-07-Rev.1). GRVA discussed on this basis open items such as the terms in the formula in paragraph 5.2.5.2. (GRVA-05-44), the parameters to be registered by DSSAD, the content of Appendix 1 to Annex 4 etc. The Secretary produced two other revisions in the course of the week, which were used by GRVA to build consensus. The outcome of the session on ALKS is reflected in GRVA-05-07-Rev.3. GRVA agreed to use this version in preparation of the sixth GRVA session.

7. GRVA reviewed in detail GRVA-06-02 prepared by the ACSF group for consideration at this session.

8. GRVA reviewed the scope of the proposed Regulation, discussed a number of items such as the alignment of definitions with existing standards, whether or not the Software Indentification Number (RxSWIN) mechanism in the draft UN Regulation on Software Updates and Software Update Management Systems should be implemented on a mandatory basis.

24. The Chair regretted that GRVA did not have enough time for reviewing the proposal submitted by the expert from AVERE and also for the proposal submitted by the expert from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. GRVA agreed to consider these two items at its September 2020 session.
