Proposal to amend UN R10 by inserting new paragraphs to address Automated Driving System (ADS) requirements. The supplement to the 07 series of amendments extends the Regulation’s application to vehicles of categories X and Y equipped with an ADS, as well as conventional vehicles with an ADS, while maintaining the spirit of the original Regulation. Modifications include new definitions for “ADS test configuration,” revised immunity related functions to account for ADS sensor performance, and updated test conditions specifying that ADS shall be operational during testing. Alternative testing methods may be used when the ADS cannot function in the laboratory environment, subject to type-approval authority agreement.
The CLIV informal group held its 15th session in Seoul from 24–27 March 2026, focusing on drafting performance requirements for buses and coaches. Japan proposed a five-minute inspection duration for drivers to confirm all children have disembarked; however, OICA suggested linking inspection time to passenger capacity. On Day 3, Japan presented a revised position: buses with 25 or more passenger seats require five minutes before a CLIV warning event occurs, while buses with fewer than 25 passenger seats require three minutes. All delegates supported this approach. The IWG agreed to draft papers for submission to affected GRs concerning external audible and visual warning signal proposals and intends to submit the draft UN Regulation to GRSP for informal consideration at the June 2026 GRSP session.
