Exchange of views on scenarios

27. The representative of France reported (GRVA-23-13) on the outcome of a workshop on scenarios held in Paris (France) on 8-10 September 2025, which identified two main topics of interest:

1. Post-deployment safety, based on reports from In Service Monitoring and Reporting (ISMR) or any investigation report, and
2. Information sharing on Contracting Parties’ specificities (traffic rules linked to Dynamic Driving Task (DDT) relevant objects and infrastructure).
