The agenda covers the 13th session of the Informal Group for Real Driving Additional Sound Emission Provisions, held June 10-12, 2026, in Gothenburg, Sweden. Topics include RD-ASEP Terms of Reference from GRBP 78th Session (GRBP-78-13), R51 matters including procedural update (GRB-68-03), Analysis Task Force Report, Editing Task Force Report, R51.04 Issues List Review, draft R51.04 text review, Inside Boundary Condition discussion, and Outside Boundary Condition discussion. The next meeting is scheduled for August 31–September 1 in Geneva, Switzerland.
Proposal to insert a new paragraph 0 introducing amendments for vehicles of categories X and Y, and to amend paragraphs 1, 1 footnote 1, 2.8, 2.22, 2.27, 2.29, and 5.3.1.2 of UN R127. The regulation is amended to extend application to vehicles without driver and without manual driving controls, including vehicles equipped with an Automated Driving System. Vehicles of category Y are not in scope. Modifications address the bonnet rear reference line definition, front structure including automated driving sensors for categories X and Y, mass in running order, normal ride attitude, and air ride height suspension engagement conditions.
Proposal to establish a new UN Regulation for vehicles of category N1 regarding protection of fuel system integrity, protection against electrical shock, and vehicle crash compatibility in frontal, rear-end, and lateral collisions. The Regulation integrates provisions from UN R94, UN R95, UN R137, and UN R153. For frontal impact, vehicles not exceeding 2,500 kg follow UN R94; vehicles exceeding 2,500 kg but not exceeding 3,500 kg follow UN R137. Lateral impact provisions derive from UN R95, excluding the side pole impact test. Rear-end impact provisions derive from UN R153 without modification. Specifications address fuel leakage limits, hydrogen storage system integrity, electrical shock protection from rechargeable energy storage systems, and energy absorption to prevent aggressive vehicle behavior in collisions.
The agenda for the 25th meeting of GRSP TF on AVRS scheduled for Tuesday 28th of April 2026 (online meeting) from 09:00 to 11:00 CET includes feedback from other meetings, Y-category regulatory framework, Y-category pedestrian protection under UN R127, and feedback on UN R12. The next meeting is proposed for 22nd May (Friday), 9-11h, with future meetings scheduled for 1-5 June (GRSP-79), 1st July, 7th September, 5th October, and 3rd November, with 24th November or 1st December as backup dates.
This document contributes to consolidated text and a risk catalogue for artificial intelligence in the automotive sector. It defines AI as a field of computer science focused on creating systems capable of performing tasks requiring human intelligence, including learning, reasoning, problem-solving, natural language processing, and decision-making. High-priority AI use cases include perception, planning, and motion-control driving functions, as well as driver assessment systems. The document identifies 14 risks organized across five lifecycle stages: AI and use case specification, model architecture and training processes, data specification and management, verification and validation, and operation and in-use monitoring. It provides detailed risk descriptions and references emergent practices for managing these risks, including ISO/PAS 8800, NIST AI RMF, and EU AIA approaches. Lower-priority use cases referenced include AI-06-09 for periodic technical inspection and AI-06-12 for cybersecurity threat detection.
The IWG on AI 7th session (March 12, 2026) adopted the agenda and 6th session report. The IWG secretariat presented updated AI use case document (AI-07-03) and consolidated literature review (AI-07-04). France presented additions to use cases (AI-07-13); China presented literature review proposals (AI-07-07, AI-07-08, AI-07-09, AI-07-10, AI-07-11, AI-07-12). The IWG expressed support for the guiding questions document (AI-07-05) and directed language amendments. Japan presented a draft reference document framework (AI-07-14); the prospective catalogue of risks (AI-07-06) received general support with requests for amendments addressing bias, risk management approaches, flexible non-exhaustive risk listing, and software update impacts. The secretariat was directed to compile a consolidated draft reference document for June WP.29 submission.
The 20th ADS informal working group session and 17th GRVA Workshop on Automated Driving Systems will meet during 27 April-1 May 2026. The session will address proposals to amend the draft Guidance and Interpretation Document covering definitions, performance of the DDT, scope, application for approval, general requirements, interactions between the ADS and its user(s), safety management systems, post-deployment safety, test environments, and certificate of compliance. Additional agenda items include further development of the GTR and UNR and consideration of next steps and future meetings.
Proposal to introduce Class VIII “close-proximity rear-view devices” to include obstacle detection systems under UN Regulation No. 46.
Proposal to define ocular points corresponding to a driver’s direct vision when checking rearward conditions from the driver’s seat.
