| Automated Driving Systems | Automated Driving Systems | WP.29 Regulation Development | 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.

| UN R90 Replacement Brake Components | Replacement Brake Linings, Discs, and Drums | UN(ECE) Regulations | Uniform provisions concerning the approval of replacement brake lining assemblies, drum brake linings and discs and drums for power-driven vehicles and their trailers <p>UNECE R90, covering key replacement components for brakes, is closely tied to UNECE R13/R13-H and R78 governing brake systems for commercial/passenger vehicles and motorcycles, respectively. The drum-brake lining provisions apply specifically to medium and heavy vehicles and trailers.</p> <p>While this rule addresses situations specific to replacement brake linings, these products may alternatively be approved through UNECE R13/13-H or R78. Consequently, products approved under the above rules do not require subsequent reapproval under UNECE R90 for use in vehicle maintenance.</p> <p>However, such brake components that have not been approved under UNECE R13 or R78 and which are intended for vehicles approved under those rules must comply with UNECE R90.</p> Replacement Brake Components Replacement Brake Linings, Discs, and Drums UN Regulation No. 90 UN R90 | UNR | 90 |
