Working draft towards establishing a UN Regulation for the approval of performance-critical software systems and for tracking and approving updates to such software systems.

Netherlands proposal for incorporating the UN Regulation on software systems (under development within the Cybersecurity/OTA task force) into UN Regulation No. 79 on steering. UN R79 is being updated to address the approval of automated steering functions. This document is a version of the regulation with a new paragraph 5.1.11.: “The performance of the steering system shall not be adversely affected by the software present in the system. This shall be demonstrated by compliance with the technical requirements and transitional provisions of Regulation No. X[Software Regulations], series of amendments or any later series of amendments.”

The Cybersecurity Task Force has been developing recommendations on cybersecurity threat mitigation. This presentation opens a discussion on how such recommendations might be codified under the 1958 Agreement and Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (RE3).

Initial outline for the recommendations to WP.29 from the Task Force on Cybersecurity and Over-The-Air Updates (TFCS).
