Status of ITS/AD Informal Group consideration of guidance for WP.29 working parties on the regulation of automated driving technologies, especially concerning automatically commanded steering under UN R79.

Proposal to develop regulatory provisions that would enable the approval of automated steering systems (i.e., systems that control vehicle lateral movement) that operate at speeds higher than 10 km/h. The proposal originates from discussions on lane-keeping assistance systems and on automated driving.

Amendment to specify the connector through which electrical energy is supplied in the proposal to remove certain design restrictions that impede the application of new technologies, especially related to trailer power steering systems and the use of energy from the towing vehicle.

This proposal is presented by the Chair of the Lane Keeping Assistance System (LKAS) adhoc group in order to improve the wording of document ECE/TRANS/WP.29 /GRRF/2015/2, and to resolve pending questions with regard to the warning provision. The group was not able to achieve consensus on the application dates of the amendments (wording remaining in square brackets).
