New UN ECE Regulation on Automated Driving Systems Adopted

In a major step towards the future widespread deployment of automated vehicles, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN ECE) World Forum for Harmonisation of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) have adopted a UN ECE Regulation on the Approval of Motor Vehicles with regard to their Automated Driving Systems. This new Regulation, which has provisionally been allocated the reference Regulation No. 185, paves the way for the potential large scale introduction of 'driverless' vehicles for use on public roads. Additionally, unlike virtually all other UN ECE Regulations relating to road vehicles, to implement the necessary safety and performance requirements for automated driving systems this new Regulation utilises a Safety Management System (SMS) and safety case approach which is more commonly used in the aerospace industry and the nuclear industry.
