Proposal to introduce provisions concerning automated driving systems and driver support features based on terms “driving system” and “driving mode”.

Document GRVA-17-49 from the September 2023 GRVA session.

Copy of document GRVA-17-49.

Proposal to differentiate between the scope of UN R79 and the proposed UN Regulation on Driver Control Assistance Systems (DCAS).

Proposal to modify the in-service performance reporting requirements.

The document requests guidance on the legal basis for provisions within UN Regulations extending beyond the End-of-Production date and which authority such provisions address. Examples include UN R171 requirements for manufacturers to demonstrate safety management systems to the Type Approval Authority every three years and report annually on Driven Coded Auxiliary System operation until production is discontinued, and UN R155 requirements for Cyber Security Management Systems to apply to the post-production phase when vehicles remain operational but are no longer produced. The document poses an additional question regarding vehicle safety when manufacturers cease operations and cannot fulfill post-deployment safety provisions.
