34. GRSG noted GRSG-128-41, for information only, submitted by the Chairs of the Task Force on Automated Vehicle Categorisation (TF-AVC) to introduce “Automated Driving System (ADS)”, among others, into R.E.3.

37. The expert from the United Kingdom on behalf of TF-AVC, introduced the status report of TF-AVC (GRSG-128-39-Rev.1) providing explanations and background of the proposals of amendment to R.E.3 and S.R.1 (see paragraphs 34. and 35. above) not yet finalized by TF. The expert from IMMA did not support the draft R.E.3 and S.R.1 proposals (GRSG-128-40 and GRSG-128-41) because they included all L-category vehicles, comprising two and three-wheelers, which IMMA considered premature as autonomous driving systems were not expected for these vehicles. He requested limiting the amendments to categories M and N for now, and addressing category L in a second step, to avoid confusion.
