Regulatory fitness for Automated Driving Systems: Status report

This status report summarizes work by expert groups on regulatory fitness for Automated Driving Systems presented to WP.29 at its 198th session. Expert groups screened UN Regulations and GTRs to determine relevance for automated vehicles and drafted amendments. As of June 2026, 92 amendment proposals across 88 Regulations have been submitted. Key closed items include overlap with ADS capabilities, test modes, monitoring passengers, and user roles. Ongoing tasks include crashworthiness regulation for category Y, ADS marker lamps, and EMC refinements. The groups concluded that urban shuttles and delivery robots represent use cases potentially requiring future category consideration based on Contracting Party and stakeholder input.
