Global Technical Regulation No. 7: Head Restraints This regulation specifies requirements for head restraints to reduce the frequency and severity of injuries caused by rearward displacement of the head (i.e. whiplash from rear-end collisions).
A second phase in the development of this rule is underway to address the following:
ESS would amend UNECE Regulations 13 and 13-H on heavy and light vehicle braking, respectively, to incorporate systems that automatically signal sudden hard braking of motor vehicles to following vehicles. Of current concern is the risk of regenerative braking systems (as used in hybrids and electric vehicles) to interfere with and/or mimic the behavior of ESS systems.

VRU Proximity Awareness Awareness of Vulnerable Road Users in Low-speed Maneuvers WP.29 Regulatory Project Awareness of Vulnerable Road Users in Low-speed Maneuvers, In 2018, EDR became a priority in the WP.29 programme of work in relation to automated vehicle work and proposals for a Data Storage System for Automated Driving (DSSAD). In 2015, the UK Department for Transport published a Regulatory Review around Driverless Cars. This looked at whether such vehicles could be tested in the UK and which areas of legislation would need to be changed prior to everyday use of driverless cars. The Review found that event data recorders would be an essential element for the widespread use of driverless cars, given the need for a definitive record of the actions the driver and/or vehicle may or may not have taken prior to a collision. Therefore, the UK raised this topic during the May 2015 GRSG session and asked that EDR be added to the agenda for the October 2015 GRSG session.

| 7 Mar 2018 | 7 Mar 2018 | How new safety technology might actually be making our driving worse | Canada Canada | To one degree or another, automated driving technologies take over functions previously assured entirely by the driver. At one level, driver assistance systems aid the driver in controlling the vehicle. However, technologies have advanced to the point where automated systems propose to replace the driver in controlling various aspects of vehicle behavior. For example, lane-keeping assistance systems propose to intervene in the steering of the vehicle in order to maintain the vehicle within a lane of travel. At the furthest point in the spectrum, autonomous vehicles propose to assume full responsibility for vehicle behavior without any driver intervention. As a result, such technologies undermine the fundamental assumption that the driver is responsible for the vehicle and thus present the regulatory community with a host of unprecedented opportunities and challenges in ensuring road safety. WP.29 has undertaken to address these issues on a global basis in order to seek uniform worldwide responses that will promote the use of these technologies while ensuring their safe introduction into road traffic.
