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.
