Recent Activities• Light-signalling for ADS vehicles (WP.29-188-10e.pdf (unece.org))• WP.29 recommended that GRE (working group on lighting) conducts analysis
and establishes principles related to light-signalling for ADS operational status• New vehicle categories for ADS• WP.29 invited GRSG (working group on general safety) and GRVA to collaborate
on developing new vehicle categories (or subcategories) dedicated to ADS (willbe started in the first half of 2023)
