34. The expert from OICA introduced GRRF-73-23 concerning UN Regulation No. 79. It proposed the alignment of the test speed and braking performance requirement for vehicles of category M1 in the event of energy source failure with those in UN Regulation No. 13H. The expert from France proposed to evaluate the need of a similar alignment for vehicles of category N1. GRRF agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its next session on the basis of an official document.

35. The expert from Japan presented GRRF-73-16 suggesting possible regulatory intervention for “Lane Keeping Assist Systems (LKAS)” and Parking Assist Systems (PAS)” technologies. GRRF agreed to revisit this subject under a new agenda item on the basis of an updated document, if available.

31. The expert from Japan proposed to establish an informal group on LKAS and PAS (GRRF-74-40) and introduced a draft terms of reference as reproduced in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2013/5 and GRRF-74-05. He presented GRRF-74-41, showing the need for minimum requirements applying for those systems, if fitted in a vehicle. The expert from OICA introduced GRRF-74-18, objecting to the need for such a Regulation on these new technologies, claiming that Annex 6 of Regulation No. 79 covered those systems. GRRF agreed to reconsider the proposal at its September 2013 session and invited Japan to provide a more detailed justification for such systems, including a cost-benefit analysis if possible.
