The Chair questioned how the manufacturers could do today between ITS, LDWS, ISO, Vienna Convention, product liability, UN R79, for approving a vehicle.

Japan presented the document LKAS-01-04. The expert from Japan informed the group that this document was an attempt to cover Industry’s concerns with regard to LKAS.

OICA found that a column showing the items covered by UN R79 was missing (warning, failure modes, whether in the core of the text or in the CEL annex).

The expert from OICA pointed out that each item was covered in some way or another by UN R79, ISO or the current Japanese guidelines. The delegate was seeking clarification about the “purpose” column in the document LKAS-01-04, e.g. the purpose of provisions for operating speed. Japan found this similar to the provisions in the introduction of AEBS regulation. Japan was keen that some fruitful discussions take place on these items.
