23. The Chair of GRVA presented the proposal for a draft resolution with guidance on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the context of road vehicles, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2024/34, amended by WP.29-192-11. He detailed the main amendment agreed by GRVA at its January 2024 session, the modification of the title replacing the term “resolution” by “guidance document”, reflecting the current level of maturity of the document.

24. The representatives of Canada and the European Commission noted the value of the document but felt that no endorsement was necessary at this stage, as the document was to be considered as a living document following technical progress.

25. The representative of OICA confirmed that, by definition, this document would be a “living document” but nevertheless advocated for endorsement of the document as this would provide for a first foundation of guidance related to AI in the context of road vehicles.

26. The representative of ITU mentioned how important this topic was for WP.29 and he looked toward WP.29 on how it formally set what AI is going to do for vehicle technology and whether a new group under WP.29, possibly under the IWG on ITS, to lead the work on recommendations for AI in the context of vehicle technology.

27. The representative of the United States of America suggested that WP.29 note the importance of AI to the automobile industry, endorse the ongoing AI discussions underway in GRVA and note the ongoing work underway on a guidance document to provide further insight to regulators and stakeholders.

28. The Chair of GRVA acknowledged that this topic went potentially beyond the scope of GRVA. He asked whether the other GRs should be involved, and if GRVA should continue. To this, WP.29 could hold a workshop to further discuss the current document.

29. WP.29 requested the secretariat to distribute WP.29-192-11 with an official symbol at the next session and agreed to organize a workshop on AI in the context of vehicles prior to the 193rd session.
