This document presents AAPC comments on AI-09-06, a consolidated reference document on artificial intelligence in regulated automotive safety systems. The proposed structure consolidates AI uses, use cases, and risk management into single chapters supported by annexes containing tables and bibliographies. The document should support future regulatory deliberations without pre-empting regulatory requirements, presenting factual statements in neutral language. Considerations should address risks not captured by conventional testing. Examples to illustrate system-specific aspects that impact whether the application of AI presents new concerns and determines the nature of responses include predictive window defogging, predictive vehicle maintenance, and AI vehicle knowledge systems.
IWG CLIV Phase 2 addresses development of a UN Regulation for buses and coaches. The 13th through 17th sessions, held between virtual and in-person meetings from March to May 2026, focused on drafting the bus UN Regulation, refining text on scope, definitions, visual signals, and transitional provisions. Feedback from GRE and GRSG identified scope clarity issues and potential amendments to UN R48. Formal submission of a UN Regulation for buses is anticipated at the 80th GRSP session, with feedback requested before 10 June 2026, and subsequent drafting of a UN Regulation for light vehicles is planned to commence in the second half of 2026.
France supports retaining risks 3.5 (unreliable uncertainty estimation) and 6.1 (adversarial input manipulation) in Table 1. France favours secretarial text for mitigations 3.1 (blackbox behaviour), 3.2 (lack of robustness), and 3.4 (model over/underfitting) in Table 2. In Annex I, para. 11 addressing lack of robustness, France favours deleting the industry proposal on explanation of mitigations, pending merger with the mitigations table subject to level of detail determination.
OICA proposes amendments to LUPC-09-04: amend para. 2.5.22. to expand the definition of energy status indicator to include information on the operational status of energy transfer and illumination to assist in locating electrical connection; delete existing para. 3.2.10. and its subparagraphs; add new paras. 3.2.10. and 3.2.11. requiring statements on energy status indicator lamps and lamp test mode; and amend para. 6.29.9. to clarify that multiple energy status indicators may be installed, change the flashing frequency limit from 2.0 Hz to 5.0 Hz, and enlarge the maximum apparent surface area to accommodate various plug sizes and surrounding illumination designs.
This intermediate draft proposes a new UN Regulation on ADS Marker Lamps based on discussions in technical groups. The regulation establishes requirements for approval of ADS Marker Lamps for motor vehicles of categories M1–M3, N1–N3, L6–L7, and O, as well as vehicle installation requirements. Key provisions include definitions of front, rear, and side ADS Marker Lamp categories with specifications for luminous intensity, colour (blue-green), geometric visibility angles, and positioning. The regulation covers lamp approval procedures, technical requirements, conformity testing, markings, and vehicle-level installation specifications including electrical connections, operational conditions, and interactions with direction indicators. Transitional provisions and communication forms for approvals are included.
Draft technical specifications establish mandatory ADS marker lamps on motor vehicles of categories M1–M3, N1–N3, L6, and L7, with front and rear lamps mandatory and side lamps mandatory or optional depending on vehicle length. Front lamps require daytime photometry of 50–300 cd and nighttime 10–125 cd; rear lamps require 20–120 cd daytime and 4–42 cd nighttime. Side lamps vary by type. All lamps are blue-green turquoise, mounted at minimum 250 mm height, and activate automatically only in fully automated mode with manual switching prohibited.
The document is an agenda for the 31st meeting of the GRE Taskforce on Autonomous Vehicle Signalling Requirements, scheduled for 18 June 2026 from 09:00 to 13:00 CEST via WebEx. The agenda includes welcome remarks, introduction of participants, adoption of the agenda (AVSR-31-01), approval of the report of the 29th meeting (AVSR-30-05), a report from GRE-94 / TF FADS (GRE-94-23), discussion of ADS marker lamps including Japanese input and a draft hybrid regulation proposal (AVSR-28-02, AVSR-30-03, AVSR-31-02/-03), miscellaneous items, working plan for future steps, and next meeting arrangements. Japan has offered to host a September meeting in Tokyo.
The sixteenth GRVA Workshop on ADS was held online on 20 March 2026 with 52 participants. The workshop adopted the agenda and minutes of the previous workshop. Experts presented updates on the guidance document covering testing provisions, In-Service Monitoring and Reporting, user interactions, Operational Design Domain, approval sections, and Safety Management System. The next workshop would be organized as a joint meeting with the IWG on ADS in Bangkok.
