J introduced document GRRF-78-22. Request to introduce recommendation for the smooth introduction of remote control parking systems in the market.
OICA recalled having commented this RCPS at GRRF-78. The expert recalled the comments made by the GRRF Chair at the GRRF 78th session (request for guidance at WP29 session of Nov 2014) and mainly questioned the legal status of RE3: while these are recommendation, the wording proposed by Japan makes them mandatory (“shall”). J informed that GRRF-78-22 will become official for next session of GRRF.

CLEPA questioned the work at the ITS informal group, about the proposed draft Terms of Reference.

39. The expert from Japan presented GRRF-78-22 amending Annex 5 to the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3), to insert provisions for Remote Controlled Parking (RCP) systems. GRRF noted some comments and requested the secretariat to distribute GRRF-78-22 with an official symbol for consideration at the next GRRF session.

50. The expert from Japan introduced GRRF-79-29, presenting the proposals on LKAS discussed under item 9(b) as well as GRRF-79-15 tabled by the expert from Japan and Germany, superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2015/4 and proposing amendments to Annex 5 to the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3) inserting provisions for Remote Controlled Parking (RCP) systems. Noting that traffic rules in some countries would require the driver being seated in the car during its motion, and also noting the preference of GRRF to not amend R.E.3 for this purpose, GRRF advised the authors of the proposal to consider a new Regulation for RCP. GRRF agreed to resume consideration on this item at its September 2015 session.
