Proposal to enable approval of vehicles equipped with an Automated Driving System under this Regulation.

Proposal to remove the draft provisions concerning the approval of stability performance under UN R13 and UN R140 for ADS vehicles via demonstration under the safety case provisions of the forthcoming UN Regulation on ADS, and to remove bracket unintentionally retained in the original submission.

Proposal to exempt ADS vehicles of subcategories X and Y from requirements related to the presence of a human driver and manual driving controls. The proposal permits X and Y vehicles to use alternative materials for windscreens given their 6 kph speed restriction. The proposal further permits translucence levels below 70% for ADS vehicles while an ADS feature is active (i.e., performing the DDT).

Proposal to require driver signals to be transmitted to the ADS and to introduce provisions for assessing ADS responses to the signals.

Proposal to enable the application to ADS vehicles, including exemptions of vehicles of subcategories X and/or Y from certain provisions concerning manual driving, attention to non-DDT tasks otherwise performed by the driver, introduction of provisions for “ADS features of type 1 and type 2”, and to update provisions concerning the running mass and occupants.

Proposal to enable application of UN R116 to ADS vehicles.

Proposal from the GRSG task force on Automated Vehicles Regulation Screening to enable application of UN R121 to ADS vehicles, including the exemption of vehicles of subcategory Y from the requirements of the Regulation.

Proposal from the GRSG task force on Automated Vehicles Regulation Screening to enable the application of UN R122 to ADS vehicles and to ensure that the requirements minimise the risk of burns across all vehicle occupants.

Proposal from the GRSG task force on Automated Vehicles Regulation Screening to enable application of UN R125 to ADS vehicles, including the exemption of vehicles of subcategories X and Y.

Proposal from the GRSG task force on Automated Vehicles Regulation Screening to exempt ADS vehicles of subcategory Y from the requirements and to adapt the requirements for application to ADS vehicles, including vehicles of subcategory X. The proposal relies on the establishment of requirements for ADS vehicles to define specifications for ADS performance while an ADS feature is active.

Proposal from the GRSG task force on Automated Vehicles Regulation Screening to enable application of UN R151 to ADS vehicles, including the exemption of vehicle subcategories X and Y from the requirements, and to remove the references to Unique Identifier markings.

Proposal from the GRSG task force on Automated Vehicles Regulation Screening to exempt vehicles of subcategories X and Y from the requirements and limit the requirements for other vehicles equipped with an ADS and when an ADS feature is active.

Proposal from the GRSG task force on Automated Vehicles Regulation Screening to exempt vehicles not operated by a human driver from the requirements of this Regulation, including vehicles of subcategories X and Y, and to delete the provisions concerning Unique Identifier markings.

Proposal to clarify that transparency requirements under UN R43 apply in both directions (exterior to interior and interior to exterior), addressing the growing use of privacy foils on windscreens and front side windows post-registration, which raises safety concerns regarding driver eye-contact, law enforcement visibility, and driving behaviour enforcement, consistent with the position expressed by GRSG at its 130th session.

Proposal to align UN R43 with a proposed amendment to UN R125 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2026/23), which resolves a longstanding inconsistency between the lower datum point definition (§5.1.1.3) and the obstruction requirement (§5.1.3) by harmonizing the lower datum point angle from 5° to 4°.

Proposal to align requirements across different series of amendments to UN R46, and to harmonize requirements for components inside and outside the vehicle with those of UN R26 and UN R61. For detailed explanations, see the TF UN-R46 report (GRSG-130-32) distributed at the 130th GRSG session.

Proposal to enable application of the Regulation to ADS vehicles.

Proposal to enable application of the Regulation to ADS vehicles.

Proposal to resolve a longstanding inconsistency in UN R125 between the lower datum point (§5.1.1.3, set at 5°) and the obstruction requirement (§5.1.3, set at 4°), by aligning the lower datum point to 4° while retaining upper and lateral aspects of §5.1.1. unchanged. The 5° datum point has never been used for any technical requirements beyond serving as a reference point, while the 4° obstruction requirement has prior precedent. As this is a vehicle rather than component requirement, the datum point is also proposed for deletion from UN R43, retaining it solely in UN R125.

Proposal to exempt vehicles of subcategories X and Y (ADS vehicles) from the requirements on UN R167 and to delete the provisions for Unique Identifier markings.

Proposal to amend UN R167 to address Automated Driving Systems (ADS), exempting category Y vehicles and category X vehicles without a manual on-board mode from the regulation’s scope, while requiring ADS-equipped vehicles to comply when operated manually. Additional amendments update references to the three-dimensional H-point machine per Mutual Resolution No. 1, and revise approval marking provisions to remove the Unique Identifier option.

Proposal to clarify the EDR trigger input in the case of vehicles approved to UN R169 (M₂, M₃, N₂, N₃) equipped with airbags (Supplemental Restraint Systems).

Proposal from the GRSG task force on Automated Vehicles Regulation Screening to enable application of UN R163 to ADS vehicles.

Proposal to remove subjectivity and clarify manufacturer requirements for demonstrating equally effective triggering performance in vehicles with a maximum mass between 8,000 and 12,000 kg.

Proposal to clarify that ocular reference point adjustment applies only to back angle, and to reference the original version of UN R166 to prevent future ambiguity should Annex and paragraph numbering change in subsequent amendments.

Proposal from the GRSG task force on Automated Vehicles Regulatory Screening to exempt ADS vehicles of subcategories X and Y from the requirements of UN R176.

Proposal to clarify:

1. The allowed obstruction for devices of Class II, III and VIII,
2. The definition of the external original surface and the position of the cylinder,
3. The usage of indicators and overlays in the required field of vision
4. Protruding supports and their possible interference with the pendulum, and
5. Make corrections to figures.

Proposal concerning “detected objects” and data element precision.

Proposal concerning “detected objects” and data element precision for the ADS regulation provisions on DSSAD.

Proposal to introduce a new “call for help” signal.

Proposal to amend the 03 Series of Amendments to UN Regulation No. 160 (Event Data Recorder). The document modifies definitions, recording conditions, and data elements for EDRs. Key changes include: renumbering paragraph 2.2 to 2.25; amending definitions for end of event time, engine throttle, non-volatile memory, and volatile memory; adding new definitions for rollover protection systems, advanced emergency braking systems, and driver assistance systems; clarifying trigger conditions for recording planar, rollover, and vulnerable road user events; specifying time zero establishment; adding transitional provisions; and expanding Annex 4 data elements table to include pre-event synchronization timer, trigger activated status, acceleration control for pedal error, driver distraction warning, driver drowsiness warning, blind spot monitoring, turn signal status, and emergency stop signal status.

This document presents draft amendments to UN Regulation No. 169 for the EDR Step 2 workstream. It defines non-volatile memory as permanent EDR data storage retained after power loss, and volatile memory as temporary buffering that does not retain data. Requirements specify that EDRs capture and record data to non-volatile memory when triggered, with capacity for at least five events. Trigger conditions include sudden deceleration exceeding 3.25 m/s² for 0.7 seconds and vehicle stops at 0 km/h for 20 seconds. An amendment allows certain stop events to be recorded in volatile memory first, transferring to non-volatile memory when other triggers occur or the master switch deactivates, reducing memory wear in vehicles with frequent stops.

The Subgroup on EDR held a conference call to discuss Event Data Recorder Step 2 specifications. Key discussions included: AEB trigger recording intervals, with agreement on -2.5 to 2.5 seconds; ADDW and DDAW data elements referred to GRSG with competing proposals in square brackets; DCAS data elements with unresolved differences between industry and UK proposals on recording intervals and frequency; time to collision (TTC) deferred to Step 3; engine throttle deletion deferred pending further consideration; transitional provisions with industry proposing 2031 implementation versus EC’s 2029; and EDR for ADS requiring further development. Memory definitions for R169 and R160 were agreed upon.

The previous session report was approved with a note on post-crash recording intervals. A DSSAD Guidance Document feedback deadline was set for month-end. Phase 2 discussions on near-miss events require clarification of concepts and their safety contributions. For EDR Step 2, a 10 Hz sampling rate was adopted over 2 Hz following opposition from industry regarding implementation burden and support from regulatory bodies for accident reconstruction needs. Outstanding discussion items will be consolidated into a working document. Terms of Reference discussions on maintaining current structure versus integrating DSSAD into the ADS Informal Working Group will continue. The May 12 meeting was rescheduled due to conflict with ESV Toronto.
