Updates to the EU Requirements on Fully Automated Vehicles Proposed

On November 28, 2025, the European Commission published a draft EU Regulation for public comment, which proposes updates to (EU) 2022/1426 on the uniform procedures and technical specifications for the type approval of the automated driving system of fully automated vehicles to introduce specific provisions to cover Automated Valet Parking (AVP) systems. This draft Regulation proposes the introduction of a completely new Annex to (EU) 2022/1426 specifying performance requirements for AVP systems and test procedures to assess compliance with those performance requirements.
