GRE is invited to address a revised amendment proposal that was prepared by the Task Force on Autonomous Vehicle Signalling Requirements (TF AVSR).

GRE will be informed about the activities of the Task Force on Lamps Under Parked Conditions (TF LUPC) and will consider its draft Terms of Reference and Rules of Procedure.

GRE will recall that, at its previous sessions, it adopted draft Supplements to the 03, 04 and 05 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48 but decided to postpone their submission to WP.29, in order to combine them with future amendment proposals to the same series of amendments.

GRE may also consider other issues and/or documents received after the submission of the present annotated provisional agenda.

GRE will be informed about the progress of TF AVSR on the optical signals of automated driving system (ADS) vehicles. GRE will recall that, at its previous session, following the demonstration of a test vehicle equipped with integrated automated ADS marker lamps, the expert from TF AVSR pointed out that they would submit to the present GRE session an informal document addressing the colour and intensity of the ADS marker lamps, electrical connections and a switch that would deactivate the lamps in those countries which may decide not to allow ADS lamps on national roads.

GRE may wish to provide guidance on the provisional agenda for the next session.
