Panel Discussion - Driver Control Assistance Systems (DCAS): Are we going far enough?

22 May 2025
Room 2
Safety innovations and best practices for their development and deployment (continued)
The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) World Forum for the Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) in March 2024 adopted the Driver Control Assistance Systems (DCAS) regulation – R171. It entered into force at the end of September 2024. This Regulation ensures improved safety and performance for driver assistance systems. Within the regulation, there has been extensive discussion around the concept of System-Initiated Manouevres (SIM), especially for a driver hands-off situation, which has been kept out of the regulation due to safety concerns. This panel session will bring diverse viewpoints from industry, academia and regulation who would discuss and debate the accuracy and applicability of evidence for both preventing and going ahead of the hands-off SIM concept in the DCAS regulation.
