45. The GRVA Chair introduced WP.29-191-30, a proposal for the regulatory approach for Automated Driving Systems, including among others, the collaborative development of a UN GTR as well as UN Regulation for ADS until 2026 on the basis of the deliverables of FRAV and VMAD and guided by the framework document, the establishment of an IWG on ADS and the organisation of at least two ADS related two-days-workshops per year by GRVA. He introduced WP.29-191-31, an amendment to the framework document and WP.29-191-32, an amendment to the WP.29 Programme of Work concerning GRVA activities, to reflect this proposal in these documents.

46. The representative of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland suggested to add a timeline and process to track progress, against which the IWG on ADS should report, supported by the representative of the European Union.

47. The representatives of Australia, Canada, China, the European Union, France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the United States of America, OICA and CLEPA supported the modified document (WP.29-191-30/Rev.1).

48. The representative of ITU cautioned that the regulatory work should separately address vehicles equipped with an ADS which can still interact with a driver, and vehicles that are dedicated to ADS (e.g., autonomous shuttles).

49. WP.29 adopted WP.29-191-30/Rev.1, WP.29-191-31 and WP.29-191-32 and requested the secretariat to distribute WP.29-191-31 with an official symbol at the next session. WP.29 agreed that the workshops could be hybrid or virtual and in English only.

50. The representative of the United States of America announced that the USA would be one of the sponsors for the UN GTR on ADS and would welcome other co-sponsors.
