UNECE GRVA meeting
The second meeting of the year starts today. It's a split meeting with the informal part taking place in Montreal which you can find here

There is a presentation from the ADAS task force explaining their next steps

There is also a copy of the ADS status report which will be presented to the WP.29 World Forum next month

There are some final edits to the new 02 series of amendments of the DCAS regulation
unece.org/transport/document… Once approved these will go to the June WP.29 World Forum as an informal document ready for the adoption vote at that meeting.
The current DCAS regulations (original and 01 series of amendments) are also getting supplements, details here
unece.org/transport/document… and here
unece.org/transport/document…
For the 01 series of amendments, this supplement includes the introduction of the term "highway-like" road taken from from the 02 series of amendments. It will also allow wHOR on such roads. If approved these supplements will not be in force until next year.
The final edits to the ADS GTR
unece.org/transport/document… and ADS UNR
unece.org/transport/document… are set to be approved and sent to the June WP.29 World Forum as informal documents, ready for their adoption vote at that meeting.
The ADS GID is going to be reviewed by the GRVA as an informal document
unece.org/transport/document… This will then go to the June WP.29 World Forum as an informal document before heading to the September GRVA as a formal document for approval. From there it goes as a formal document to the November WP.29 World Forum for an adoption vote.
Finally there is a proposal by the OICA/CLEPA for a supplement to UNR 79 (Steering Equipment) to allow the range for RCP to increase from 6m to 15m. The current 6m limit results in an actual real world range of about 3m. More details here
