Proposal to exempt ADS vehicles of subcategories X and Y from requirements related to the presence of a human driver and manual driving controls. The proposal permits X and Y vehicles to use alternative materials for windscreens given their 6 kph speed restriction. The proposal further permits translucence levels below 70% for ADS vehicles while an ADS feature is active (i.e., performing the DDT).

Proposal to require driver signals to be transmitted to the ADS and to introduce provisions for assessing ADS responses to the signals.

Proposal to enable the application to ADS vehicles, including exemptions of vehicles of subcategories X and/or Y from certain provisions concerning manual driving, attention to non-DDT tasks otherwise performed by the driver, introduction of provisions for “ADS features of type 1 and type 2”, and to update provisions concerning the running mass and occupants.

Proposal to enable application of UN R116 to ADS vehicles.

Proposal from the GRSG task force on Automated Vehicles Regulation Screening to enable application of UN R121 to ADS vehicles, including the exemption of vehicles of subcategory Y from the requirements of the Regulation.

Proposal from the GRSG task force on Automated Vehicles Regulation Screening to enable the application of UN R122 to ADS vehicles and to ensure that the requirements minimise the risk of burns across all vehicle occupants.
