Proposal from the task force on Automated Vehicle Signalling Requirements to introduce provisions for vehicles with a driving system controlling its operation or operated by driver-support features, automated driving features, or an Automated Driving System and provide lighting requirements adapted to such vehicles and operating modes.
17. The expert from the Task Force on Autonomous Vehicle Signalling Requirements (TF AVSR) reported on their activities to adapt UN Regulation No. 48 to the introduction of automated vehicles (GRE-89-19) and presented revised amendment proposals (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2023/9/Rev.1 and GRE-89-14). GRE thanked TF AVSR for their efforts which were ahead of related activities in other WP.29 GRs. GRE noted that amending UN Regulation No. 48 would require a set of new definitions and vehicle (sub)categories which should first be harmonized among various GRs and adopted at the WP.29 level. GRE requested TF AVSR to continue liaising with other GRs with the aim to prepare updated amendment proposals for the next session of GRE.
26. The expert of the Task Force on Autonomous Vehicle Signalling Requirements (TF AVSR) submitted draft amendments that aimed to introduce vehicles with automated driving features or an Automated Driving System (ADS) in UN Regulation No. 48 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2023/9). Experts pointed out a number of issues that would need further consideration, in particular the introduction of two new definitions (in square brackets). GRE requested TF AVSR to present the proposals to the Working Party on Automated/Autonomous and Connected Vehicles (GRVA) with a view to ensuring compatibility of definitions.
