| GRSG | Session 107 | 30 Sep-3 Oct 2014 |
19. The expert from Germany introduced GRSG-107-31, proposing requirements for mirrors that have a folding mechanism operated electronically or by any other automatic system. He added that the speed at which the device for indirect vision should automatically return to the normal position, had been fixed at 5 km/h because of the difficulty to identify exactly the commencement of movement at 0 km/h. The proposal received a number of comments such as by the expert from the Netherlands who argued that even at 5 km/h, accidents could occur implying liability problem if the mirror did not deploy. The expert from EC suggested that further assessment on the risks of safety was needed to clarify the responsibility of the vehicle manufacturer and the driver. Finally, GRSG agreed to resume discussion on this subject at its May 2015 session on the basis of a revised proposal by the expert from Germany, taking into account the comments received. |
