Proposals to clarify provisions for collision avoidance in a cut-in scenario, collision avoidance with regard to crossing pedestrians, on “other activities than driving”, and on “permanent visibility” of the means for the driver to activate and deactivate the system.

The proposal replaces the protection of critical elements with the protection of the vehicle type in general to ensure that a critical element can be secured by security mechanisms in other elements of the vehicle type. This clarifies that secure gateways can be used to shield parts of an E/E architecture which contain critical elements. Further, the proposal introduces a transitional period for the obligation to implement the mitigation measures of Annex 5, Part B and C. During this transitional period, the manufacturer can introduce alternative appropriate mitigation measures on the basis of technical feasibility.
