This document proposes a draft text for a resolution on “activities other than those related to driving” that the driver of a vehicle equipped with an automated driving system could undertake when the automated driving system is engaged.

Dutch Safety Board report on ADs-equipped vehicle safety performance issues.

VMAD co-chairs’ orientation presentation for the 7th session teleconference.

Input concerning the review of existing UN Regulations and Global Technical Regulations with regard to their application to vehicles equipped with Automated Driving Systems.

Proposal to modify the track and real-world testing provisions in Annex 6.

Proposal concerning “detected objects” and data element precision.

Proposal concerning “detected objects” and data element precision for the ADS regulation provisions on DSSAD.

Proposal to amend para. 6.2.2.3.8.1 (b) to change “a driving task relevant area” to “the driving task relevant area” and to expand the accompanying GID text to define the driving task relevant area as consisting of different zones including inside mirror, left outside mirror, right outside mirror, left window, right window, windscreen, and instrument cluster or instrument display, and to clarify that depending on the type of ADS feature and driving situation the user could be suitable to have looked at just one zone or more than one zone.

Proposal to amend explanation of para. 6.2.2.1.4. to clarify that ‘while’ refers to continuous presentation of information sufficient to enable a user to take over performance of the DDT such as through ambient lighting, tell-tales, or dashboard colour changes. The explanation notes that information on adapted performance is only presented if applicable.

Proposal to delete text from the draft Introduction section of the Guidance and Interpretation Document on ADS Regulation. The formal submission to GRVA produced in June was based on the Workshop information document that contained additional explanations on the status of work. These contents are not appropriate for the final version of the Guidance and Interpretation Document.

Proposal to clarify in the introductory text that the document does not limit requirements or introduce new requirements, update the reference to WP.29 adoption of the Regulations under the 1958 and 1998 Agreements, and add explanation that interpretation examples are not exhaustive, definitive, or compulsory and that each safety case must be tailored to the characteristics of the automated driving system, its features, their operational design domain, and assessed on its own merits.

Proposal to delete the final sentence of the Introductory Text of the GID, which states “Nonetheless, the amendments to these other regulations, including those that enable performance of the DDT, are outside the scope of the ADS regulations and of this document.” The deletion removes redundant language already conveyed in the preceding text that modifications of other regulations related to ADS are outside the scope of this document.
