ADS guidance and interpretation: Consideration of document title
Reference Number: ADS-21-03/Rev.1

Proposal to consider an official title for the GID. The original title “ADS Regulations Guidance and Interpretation Document” was for the baseline document used during the session in Bangkok. This title is not suitable for the official document intended for adoption by WP.29. The revised title is “UN Global Technical Regulation No. 26 and UN Regulation No. 185 Guidance and Interpretation Document,” reflecting the ADS regulations adopted by WP.29 with the expected numbers GTR 26 and UN R185.

Document date: 17 Jul 26
Relevant to: WP.29 Regulatory Project | Automated Driving Systems, GTR No. 26 | Automated Driving Systems, and UN Regulation No. 185 | Approval of vehicles with regard to their Automated Driving Systems
