In addition, about 12 experts from Sweden, South Africa, Uruguay, Malaysia, India and Nepal will take part in the meeting.

The meeting will discuss two new standards – 39003 and 39004, providing for an ethical protocol for autonomous vehicles and the introduction of practical solutions for road safety. The results of each event under the ISO/TC 241 flagship make a significant contribution to the development of the global transport industry.

The ISO/TC 241 Committee is an important platform for the development and implementation of international standards related to road safety. Thanks to the active efforts of its members, including more than 150 representatives from 56 countries, road safety does not stand still – the committee's specialists constantly analyze and correlate statistics according to implemented standards.

Previously, such meetings were held only twice in Kazakhstan: in 2008, a meeting of ISO/TC 90 "Natural Gas" was held, and in 2019 – ISO/TC 40 "Railway Transport". Conducting discussions and sharing experiences on our territory develops cooperation with the international community and promotes an active transition to world standards.

We invite all media representatives to join us at the ISO/TC 241 meeting. Together, we will take an important step forward towards creating a safe and efficient transport infrastructure.
