Proposal to introduce requirements for “obstacle detection systems to support fields of vision” (e.g., wide-view mirrors, sensors, camera systems). The aim is to decrease backover fatalities and injuries due to driver failure to adequately scan for obstacles when driving in reverse gear.

Proposal to replace the term “minimum average magnification factor” with “magnification factors” in paragraph 16.1.3.1. There is no “minimum average magnification factor” in this regulation, just a “minimum magnification factor” and an “average magnification factor” and this already mentioned in the text following the revised sentence.

Proposal for an informal group to develop a draft regulatory proposal for a new UN Regulation on close proximity vision and obstacle detection systems in order to establish uniform technical requirements for such close proximity vision and obstacle detection systems to prevent accidents by enabling the driver to notice any pedestrians around or behind the vehicle.
