66. The expert from the Russian Federation, Co-Chair of the Task Force on ADAS, presented the status report of the Group contained in GRVA-16-18. He detailed the progress made, he announced that the first draft UN Regulation on Driver Control Assistance System covering the type approval of “hands on” systems, would be submitted in June 2023 as official document for consideration by GRVA in September 2023. He proposed that the Task Force organize workshops further exploring hands-off systems. He also drew the attention of GRVA to the current discussions within the task force related to driver education in the context of ADAS.

67. The expert from Japan noted that the task force had addressed his concern related to the potential double standards in the new UN Regulation and the existing UN Regulation No. 79. He pointed at slide 3 of the presentation for further details.

68. The expert from Germany noted that the task force implemented the VMAD multi-pilar approach. He inquired about the effectiveness of this methodology to test driver interactions with the system.

69. GRVA noted that the Task Force was on the home straight with the drafting of the UN Regulation. GRVA recalled the importance of this activity, ADAS being the bridging technology until ADS becomes mature. GRVA therefore encouraged increased participation of all contracting parties in these activities.

70. GRVA supported the organization of additional workshops to address the challenges posed by hands-off systems and to clarify the border between ADAS and ADS.

71. GRVA discussed the task force views on driver education. The expert from OICA recalled the role of WP.1 on this matter. The expert from Germany clarified that the boundaries between WP.1 and WP.29 were clear, he stated that driver engagement monitoring and HMI were technical issues addressed by WP.29. He specified that there should not be technical solutions offered to consumers that would require a new driving licence. The expert from Canada confirmed that vehicles shall indeed be built in an intuitive and user-centric manner. He added that to date, many vehicles equipped with ADAS were used without extra training. The expert from AAPC confirmed the importance of the goal to develop technology that does not require further driver education. He explained that challenges were already identified and that the issues were being solved. GRVA agreed to wait for the text proposed by the task force and also to inform WP.29 about this discussion.
