Thread by @KRoelandschap

Remember this post from a couple months ago? Well next week the @UNECE WP.29 will be meeting again..

They will be discussing (as always) and reviewing but also voting 👀

The list of agenda items is long but what is most important for FSD Supervised & Unsupervised?

Let me break it down to you in a thread🧵 👇🏼

1/ For the upcoming WP.29 meeting to be held in Geneva from March 4-7, here’s what will be presented, reviewed, and voted on regarding Automated Driving Systems (ADS) and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

2/ 🚀 To Be Presented:

1️⃣ Update on Automated Driving Systems (ADS) Regulation

WP.29 will receive a status report from the Working Party on Automated/Autonomous and Connected Vehicles (GRVA) on the development of a new regulation for Automated Driving Systems (ADS).

Focus of the discussion will be on the role of AI in automotive products.

2️⃣ Reports from GRVA (Automated/Autonomous & Connected Vehicles)

Highlights from the 20th session (Sept 2024) & 21st session (Jan 2025).

3️⃣ New Global Technical Regulation (GTR) on Automated Driving Systems

WP.29 will receive the first progress report on the development of a new UN GTR on ADS.

This means we will get to see the first draft of a global regulation for fully autonomous vehicles. So we’re talking FSD Unsupervised here.

3/ 🔎 To Be Reviewed:

Amendments to existing regulations. The first might be crucial to FSD Supervised as the 01 series include the highly debated HORs and withdrawal of HORs and the SIM/SILC (System Initiated Maneuvers / Lane Changes). Essentially, what makes or breaks FSD Supervised for those waiting in Europe.

1️⃣UN Regulation No. 171 (DCAS – Driver Control Assistance Systems)

→ Review of the 01 series of amendments.

2️⃣UN Regulation No. 79 (Steering Equipment)

→ Multiple amendments to enhance steering system performance in automated driving.

3️⃣UN Regulation No. 152 (AEBS – Advanced Emergency Braking System)

→ Updates to improve collision prevention in both assisted and autonomous driving modes.

4/ 👩‍⚖️ And perhaps most importantly, what’s to be voted on?

Exactly the release of FSD Supervised in Europe is what’s stake in the next meeting.. at least for the short term when it comes to Supervised.

While at the same time the first draft proposal of a global regulation for fully autonomous driving systems such as FSD Unsupervised will be voted on. This could possibly be huge (disappointing?) news for commercial robotaxi roll-out in Europe and all other contracting parties to the UNECE.

1️⃣ Amendments to existing UN Regulations regarding ADAS like FSD supervised. Call it L2 or L2+ if you like but I personally kinda disagree with the SAE J3016 taxonomy..)

Regulation No. 171 (DCAS – Driver Assistance Systems)

Regulation No. 79 (Steering Equipment)

Regulation No. 152 (AEBS – Advanced Emergency Braking System)

2️⃣ New GTRs for ADS and ACPE. A big update possibly coming for FSD Unsupervised 👀

Proposal for a new UN GTR on Automated Driving Systems

Proposal for a new UN GTR on Acceleration Control for Pedal Error (ACPE)

5/ A lot can happen but a lot can also be delayed. While it’s always good to have hope we all know how it goes with these meetings so take it with a grain of salt and do let me know if I missed out on something. As always: i’m not a regulatory professional so I can be mistaken.

I will try to keep you updated ASAP when I know more.

Fingers crossed for FSD🤞🏼

Oh and here is a link to the agenda this month. It’s gonna be a big month for everything related to legislation for autonomous mobility. They will also be meeting in the Netherlands 👀 something to do with FSD Unsupervised…
