Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17

(17) ~~Automated and connected vehicles may be able to make a huge contribution in reducing road fatalities since in the region of 90 per cent of road accidents are estimated to result from human error.~~ As automated vehicles will gradually be taking over tasks of the driver, harmonised rules and technical requirements for automated vehicle systems, such as a transparent, technology neutral and non-proprietary standard that provides verifiable safety assurance for AV decision-making, should be adopted at Union level.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 18 a (new)

(18a) As the average age of a vehicle in the Union is over 10 years, retrofitting existing vehicles with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems can contribute substantially to reducing road fatalities in the Union. In this regard, the Union should continue to assess whether retrofitting the existing fleet, particularly buses and trucks, with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems is feasible and cost- effective.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 18 b (new)

(18b) Vehicle security is not any longer limited to protection against vehicle theft, but needs to target protection of the whole vehicle architecture preventing loss or compromise of system and component integrity. This, to ensure that a vehicle, system, separate technical unit, components as well as parts and equipment compliance with safety and environmental approval requirements remain effective and have reduced risk of being compromised during the vehicle’s life, within reasonable but up to date protection measures. The connectivity and automation of vehicles increase the possibilities for unauthorised, remote access to in-vehicle data and illegal modification of software over-the-air; to take into account the upcoming risks resulting of that, UN Regulations on security, cyber security and over-the-air software updates should be applied mandatory as soon as possible after their entry into force. It should be ensured that vehicles, their systems, separate technical units, components, parts and equipment are equipped with up to date security technology when placed on the market and that this high level of security is maintained by regularly updating hardware and software until a vehicle’s end-of-life. However, these security measures should not compromise the obligations from the vehicle manufacturer to provide access to comprehensive diagnostic information and in-vehicle data relevant to repair and maintain a vehicle.

Committee: IMCO

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 25

(25) Detailed technical requirements and specific adequate test procedures for type- approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units should be laid down in delegated acts before the date of application of this Regulation. Moreover, manufacturers should be allowed sufficient time to adapt to the requirements of this Regulation and the delegated implementing acts adopted pursuant to it. Some vehicles are produced in small quantities. Therefore, it is appropriate that requirements set out in this Regulation and its implementing measures, take into account such vehicles or classes of vehicles where such requirements are incompatible with the use or design of such vehicles, or where the additional burden imposed by them is disproportionate. Therefore, the application of this Regulation should be deferred, .
