The agenda includes Y-category regulatory framework new for N₁, Y-category pedestrian protection UN R127, UN R42 from informal document GRSP-79-11, UN R134 Y-category exclusion, any other business, and dates for next meetings on 5 October, November week 47, 24 November or 1 December, and 7-11 December at GRSP-80.

Proposal, updated with in session comments, to amend Footnote 1 to reference document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.8, amend para. 6.1.5. to clarify that the exemption for sensors being part of driver assistance systems does not apply to automated driving systems, remove non-exhaustive examples of sensors, replace “disoriented” with “misaligned”, and align terminology to “driver assistance systems”. The exemption for driver assistance systems is retained because their failure does not prevent manual vehicle operation, whereas automated driving systems’ perception equipment forms part of the driving function, and damage to sensing devices may prevent vehicle operation contrary to Regulation No. 42’s objective.

Proposal to insert a new introduction section defining application to vehicles of categories X and Y equipped with an Automated Driving System, to amend para. 6.1.5. to replace “driver assist systems” with “driver assistance systems”, to remove the non-exhaustive list “cameras, radar devices, etc.”, to replace “disoriented” with “misaligned”, and to add provisions clarifying that the exemption for sensor damage does not apply to automated driving systems unless the Automated Driving System performance of the Designed Driving Task is not affected.
