17. The expert from Japan introduced GRVA-04-36 with a status report on the activities of the group as well as two requests for guidance by GRVA.

(a) GRVA agreed that an ALKS system may perform a lane change as part of a minimum risk manoeuvre. The expert from Japan asked whether the group should develop testing provisions regarding the lane change procedures. GRVA agreed that the group should envisage to develop provisions related to such manoeuvre as part of the current work stream. GRVA agreed that a future supplement could be developed to address this point, if more time would be needed.

(b) GRVA agreed that an ALKS may have the possibility to cross a lane marking in an evasive manoeuvre. GRVA encouraged the group to develop the corresponding provisions within its current timeframe. Otherwise, the IWG on FRAV would have to address this issue.
