The document discusses the status of autonomous driving system (ADS) regulations across multiple expert groups. GRBP completed all regulations; GRE adopted R48 and R45; GRPE, GRSG, and GRSP have working documents under review for WP.29’s 199th session; GRVA completed remaining regulations. GRBP, GRPE, GRSG, and GRVA task forces will disband after June 2026. GRSP AVRS will continue work on Y category crash requirements and GRE AVSR on ADS marker lamps. Work on ESC will be handled separately without a dedicated group.

Proposal to account for vehicles of categories X and Y, extend application to vehicles without driver and without manual driving controls, and address inconsistencies related to REESS provisions. The amendment introduces ADS feature types 1 and 2, modifies warning transmission requirements for ADSF-2, adjusts isolation resistance specifications, and exempts certain REESS requirements for category O and Y vehicles. Changes include updates to Annex 8 stopping conditions and Annex 9E terminology.

Proposal to amend the text to enable its application to ADS vehicles.

Proposal to adapt UN Regulation No. 162 (Immobilisers) for automated driving system (ADS) vehicles. Supplement 6 extends the regulation to vehicles without drivers or manual controls, including category X and Y1 vehicles and those with ADS operating above 6 km/h. The amendment defines two ADS feature types and modifies immobilizer requirements to account for vehicles lacking traditional ignition systems and driver controls. Requirements for remote-controlled maneuvering and authorized digital keys are clarified.
