The amendments update footnotes across documents to reference the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3.), document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.8. The document modifies provisions related to Automated Driving Systems and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems sensors, test mass specifications, logical signal transmission, acoustic characteristics, category definitions, and occupant compartment requirements across multiple regulations.

The agenda includes amendments to UN Regulations and GTRs regarding their fitness for automated vehicles, review of documents received for review, compilation of an informal editorial document for the 199th session of WP.29, future steps of the work, review of past open and low-priority items, discussion on future needs for ADS fitness and general regulatory fitness, and agreement on the contents of the final presentation to WP.29.

The document addresses consistency issues across multiple UN Regulations (R26, R28, R29, R34, R35, R39, R43, R45, R46, R48, R49, R134, R135, R137, R138, R141, R142, R143, R144) concerning automated driving systems. It proposes improved wording for fuel leakage provisions, foot control applicability for vehicles of category M₁, and speedometer requirements when ADS features are active. The document recommends removing duplicate definitions of ADS, DDT, bi-directional vehicle, and forward direction across regulations. It raises questions regarding application to category Y vehicles, handling of bi-directional traffic equipped vehicles, and whether requirements should apply to vehicle users or only when ADS features are active.

Proposal to amend para. 1., footnote 1 to update the reference to the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3.); add new para. 2.3.3.7. defining devices for Automated Driving Systems; amend para. 2.3.8. to clarify the definition of movable components; delete paras. 2.3.12. to 2.3.12.4. concerning terms and definitions related to automated driving; amend paras. 2.5.3., 2.7.4.7., and 2.7.6.1. to 2.7.6.4. to incorporate automated driving system references; insert new paras. 2.5.22., 2.7.12., 2.7.13., 3.2.10., 3.2.11., and 5.35.14. relating to direction indicator projections and driver assistance projections; insert new paras. 5.37. and 5.38. establishing general provisions and special requirements for vehicles equipped with an Automated Driving System; amend paras. 6.1.1., 6.1.4.3., 6.1.7.2., 6.1.7.3., 6.1.8.1., 6.2.4.3., 6.2.6.1.1., 6.2.6.2.2., 6.2.7.6., 6.2.7.7., 6.3.4.3., 6.3.6.1.1.1., 6.3.6.1.2.2., 6.3.9., 6.4.7.2., 6.5.7., 6.6.7.1., 6.7.9.2.1., 6.13.4.2., 6.19.4.3., 6.19.7.2.©, 6.20.7.2., 6.22.4.2., 6.22.6.1.1., 6.22.7.4., 6.22.7.5., 6.22.8.3., 6.22.8.4., and 6.26.7. to address automated driving system operation and direction indicator projections; insert new para. 6.29. with comprehensive requirements for direction indicator projections; insert new items 9.33. and 9.34. in Annex 1 regarding direction indicator projections and automated driving systems; amend Annex 5, para. 2. and paras. 2.1. to 2.4. to define seating position 1 and modify loading conditions for automated vehicles; amend Annex 14 title; and insert new Annex 18 specifying the chevron as the basic element for direction indicator projection patterns, based on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2024/21/Rev.1, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2025/23, and GRE-93-30-Rev.1.
