Therefore, industry highlighted the aspect of current technology performance limitation under real life conditions, as mentioned in paragraph 0.7 of the draft regulation introduction. OICA cannot guarantee that, at the time of entry into force of the draft regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of motor vehicles with regard to the Moving Off Information System for the Detection of Pedestrians and Cyclists (document GRSG-118-06): i) the available technology (sensors and software algorithm), when installed in the vehicles, is robust enough under all real-life conditions; ii) the available technology (sensors and software algorithm), when installed in the vehicles, reaches a satisfying balance between HMI efficiency and driver’s acceptance.”
