Proposal to amend guidance on continuous improvement processes in para. 7.1.8.2. by inserting text stating that post-deployment safety analyses are systematically performed for all occurrences; however, their conclusions do not necessarily result in the identification of a corrective action from the manufacturer, modifying text to state that not all identified corrective or preventive actions need to be implemented in order to close an occurrence, and replacing text to state decisions on what to address and how are based on an overall assessment of the consequences and the impact of implementing a change. |

Within the context of establishing regulations on Automated Driving Systems under the 1958 and 1998 Agreements, WP.29 mandated GRVA to hold workshops to draft provisions specific to the UN GTR and the UN Regulation for type approvals (e.g., GTR statement of rationale, UN Regulation administrative provisions for the granting of approvals). The workshops have also been tasked to prepare a guidance and interpretation document to support the implementation of the GTR and UNR on ADS.
