ADS: Clarification of ADSF-1 MRC fallbacks
Reference Number: ADS-22-07

Change request to amend para. 4.1.6.2. to add a condition that an ADSF-1 shall execute a fallback to an MRC if there is insufficient time available for transition or if it has not been possible to complete a system-initiated deactivation procedure. The revision ensures that in situations where an ADSF-1 does not have time to safely transition to the fallback user, it should fallback to an MRC to avoid having a fallback user that is unprepared and unable to safely take back control.

Submitted by: Canada, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, and ETSC

Document date: 28 Sep 26

ADS: Clarification of MRC end states
Reference Number: ADS-22-06

Proposal to clarify para. 5.3.1.14 by replacing ‘end states’ with ‘possible vehicle resting positions’, adding examples of stopped in lane, stopped on shoulder, and stopped in parking spot, removing ‘feature’ from references to the ADS to provide flexibility, and adding requirement for the ADS to select a mitigated risk condition in addition to attempting to reach it.
