Artificial intelligence: Contribution to the consolidated text and risk catalogue
Reference Number: AI-08-11

This document contributes to consolidated text and a risk catalogue for artificial intelligence in the automotive sector. It defines AI as a field of computer science focused on creating systems capable of performing tasks requiring human intelligence, including learning, reasoning, problem-solving, natural language processing, and decision-making. High-priority AI use cases include perception, planning, and motion-control driving functions, as well as driver assessment systems. The document identifies 14 risks organized across five lifecycle stages: AI and use case specification, model architecture and training processes, data specification and management, verification and validation, and operation and in-use monitoring. It provides detailed risk descriptions and references emergent practices for managing these risks, including ISO/PAS 8800, NIST AI RMF, and EU AIA approaches. Lower-priority use cases referenced include AI-06-09 for periodic technical inspection and AI-06-12 for cybersecurity threat detection.

Artificial Intelligence: Report of the 7th (March 2026) session
Reference Number: AI-08-02

The IWG on AI 7th session (March 12, 2026) adopted the agenda and 6th session report. The IWG secretariat presented updated AI use case document (AI-07-03) and consolidated literature review (AI-07-04). France presented additions to use cases (AI-07-13); China presented literature review proposals (AI-07-07, AI-07-08, AI-07-09, AI-07-10, AI-07-11, AI-07-12). The IWG expressed support for the guiding questions document (AI-07-05) and directed language amendments. Japan presented a draft reference document framework (AI-07-14); the prospective catalogue of risks (AI-07-06) received general support with requests for amendments addressing bias, risk management approaches, flexible non-exhaustive risk listing, and software update impacts. The secretariat was directed to compile a consolidated draft reference document for June WP.29 submission.

Automated Driving Systems : Agenda for the 20th IWG session and 17th ADS Workshop (April 2026)
Reference Number: ADS-20-02/Rev.2

The 20th ADS informal working group session and 17th GRVA Workshop on Automated Driving Systems will meet during 27 April-1 May 2026. The session will address proposals to amend the draft Guidance and Interpretation Document covering definitions, performance of the DDT, scope, application for approval, general requirements, interactions between the ADS and its user(s), safety management systems, post-deployment safety, test environments, and certificate of compliance. Additional agenda items include further development of the GTR and UNR and consideration of next steps and future meetings.

Testing services feedback on liquefied hydrogen storage systems regulation
Reference Number: TFH2-11-03

Test agencies expressed concern about knowing the material and fitting configuration of adapters in advance of testing. One agency suggested adapter material should match the original valve material strength. Agencies agreed small diameter supply lines present no pressure and temperature issues but suggested mandating a one to two second hold at maximum pressure during cycles. Test agencies questioned whether adapters and TPRD plugs are considered part of the test and whether leakage constitutes failure. Components not covered by UN R134 should be tested per ISO 19887-1.

UN R134: Draft proposal for a Supplement to the 03 series of amendments
Reference Number: TFH2-11-02

Proposal to amend Annex 3 paragraph 5.1 regarding the CHSS test article. The modification adds supply lines for additional TPRDs through appropriate adaptors to the required test article components, and clarifies that vent lines shall be connected to TPRDs to direct TPRD exhausts in a manner representative of the configuration in the vehicle. The task force identified contradicting language in the regulation regarding supply lines for additional TPRDs and aims to correct this inconsistency.

Glare prevention: Draft recommendations for GRE
Reference Number: TFGP-07-08

TFGP-07-08 provides a draft list of recommendations for GRE-94 addressing glare prevention. Recommendations include providing driver instructions for manual override of adaptive driving beam in case of glare; considering dynamic auto-levelling for all vehicles; lowering maximum installation height of headlamps; investigating aiming differences; defining limits on maximum luminous flux and intensity output; improving adaptive driving beam requirements; introducing motorway adaptive driving beam usage; reducing the 2000 lm limit or making cleaning mandatory; considering dimming of beam pattern; introducing adaptive cut-off line; clarifying definitions for cut-off line; improving connection between type approval and inspection; clarifying practical periodic technical inspection aspects; defining remedies for alignment degradation; defining uniform requirements for floor evenness and headlamp aiming devices; improving market surveillance; and improving driver awareness on headlamp cleaning and levelling systems.

EqOP-Restraints: Minutes of the 3rd (March 2026) session
Reference Number: EqOP-TF4-03-02/Rev.1

Two presentations were delivered to the task force: one on abdominal injury assessment using human body models in frontal sled simulations, examining seatbelt trauma and submarining effects; and another proposing a real-world frontal crash assessment matrix based on field data, advocating for morphed human body models to represent diverse occupant sizes and ages. Continued discussion on priorities and workshop planning were postponed to the next meeting on April 14, 2026.
