Proposal from the GRSG task force on Automated Vehicles Regulation Screening to exempt vehicles not operated by a human driver from the requirements of this Regulation, including vehicles of subcategories X and Y, and to delete the provisions concerning Unique Identifier markings.

This proposal allows for Separate Technical Units (STU) or Components
approvals: The Industry may need a regulatory tool to approve STU or
Components and vehicles equipped with STU or Components because the
same technology can sometimes be fitted to various families or categories of
vehicles or is largely independent of a vehicle. Such mechanism will help
streamlining the approvals of vehicles and hence the introduction of safety
technologies on the market.

Proposal prepared by the Task Force on Automated Vehicles Regulatory Screening (TF-AVRS), with the aim to amend and supersede document
ECE/TRANS/GRSG/2025/40.
