This document summarises the reviews conducted by the GR working parties on the fitness for ADS of UN Regulations and GTR for application to ADS vehicles. This document represents the current opinions of the experts at the time of submission, and the recommendations contained inside may evolve significantly during the next steps of the process of reviewing and amending Regulations.

Proposal from the GRSG task force on Automated Vehicles Regulatory Screening to exempt vehicles without manual driving controls from provisions of UN R34 applicable only to vehicles with manual driving controls, to introduce definitions for “ADS feature of type 1” and “ADS feature of type 2”, to clarify the provisions for vehicles in case of separate driver compartment, and to clarify that the loading area shall be considered as luggage compartment for vehicles of category N.

Proposal from the GRSG task force on Automated Vehicles Regulation Screening to enable application of UN R73 to ADS vehicles.

Paragraph 5.41 of the proposed amendment to UN Regulation No. 48 introduces a requirement for a physical test drive to verify that an Automated Driving System (ADS) can correctly operate all lighting and light-signalling functions without causing discomfort. While OICA fully supports the objective of ensuring safety and proper functioning of lighting systems under ADS control, we believe this requirement is unnecessary and duplicative in the context of the forthcoming UN Regulation on Automated Driving Systems (ADS Regulation).

Proposal to exempt CSF and ESC from prohibition on use of Advanced Driver Assistance Steering Systems while an ADS feature is active.

Proposal for amendments to the 05 series of UN R79 to enable the type approval of ADS vehicles, including those without manual controls.
