Proposal to

1. delete the requirement limiting the speed reduction during the collision-imminent warning phase
2. define a time range for the warning function to ensure adequate warning at lower speeds
3. introduce specific requirements for the achievable speed reduction for the cases of dry roads and wet roads
4. introduce speed reduction requirements at 70 km/h and 40 km/h for dry and wet roads, respectively
5. restructure provisions under “Specifications” and “Test Procedure” to enable testing at different speeds
6. prevent unintended AEBS deactivation
7. delete certain exemptions (to be addressed at national levels)
