This initial consolidate draft reference document for artificial intelligence in regulated automotive safety systems, based on WP.29-195-20, AI-07-08, AI-07-11, AI-07-09, AI-07-10, and AI-07-12, establishes AI use cases and identifies potential risks across the AI lifecycle. The document addresses driving functions including perception, planning and motion control, and end-to-end systems, as well as non-driving functions such as driver assessment and occupant monitoring. It presents six major AI lifecycle risk categories: whole system risks including insufficient documentation and governance; specification risks such as improper definition of intended use; model and training risks including blackbox behaviour and lack of robustness; data management risks such as data poisoning and distribution shift; verification and validation risks including insufficient test coverage; and operational risks including concept drift and limited failure detection. Illustrative risk management practices drawn from standards, research, and regulations are provided for each identified risk to support manufacturers, suppliers, and approval authorities.

Excerpts from session reports

WP.29 | Session 195 | 3-7 Mar 2025

18. The representative of UK presented, also on behalf of Germany, a proposal to create a new IWG on Artificial Intelligence (AI) (WP.29-195-20). He proposed four tasks that the new IWG on AI should address: perform a literature review, develop a guidance document on best practices, report back to WP.29 and after that, consider the need for further work. The representative of the EU emphasized that the result of the work of the IWG should not prejudge the needs of contracting parties to take additional steps, such as drafting of regulatory requirements under the umbrella of WP29.

19. The representatives of Canada, China, European Union, France, Netherlands (Kingdom of the), Sweden and the US supported the proposal. The representatives of IEEE and SAE International volunteered to provide secretariat services to the IWG.

20. WP.29 decided to establish a new IWG on AI under WP.29 and requested the interested representatives to prepare its draft ToR for consideration at the June 2025 session of WP.29. WP.29 also concurred with the view of the representative of the US that the leadership of the group should reflect the global representation of WP.29.
