Abstract—The SAE Lighting Systems Group (LSG) has been active in automotive lighting standardization for over 70 years. The group consists of 8 Committees that jointly manage over 75 SAE technical reports, including standards, recommended practices and information reports in the areas of design, performance, materials, and test methods for automotive, heavy duty and emergency warning lighting. The SAE Lighting Systems Group takes an active role in supporting the adoption of advanced vehicle lighting technologies in North America and has taken a leading role in preparing industry feedback to regulatory initiatives from North American government agencies. An overview of recent activities in this area will be presented. A summary will also be given of current standards development topics in the LSG, which include lamps for vehicles equipped with automated driving systems (ADS), headlamp performance rating, advanced motorcycle headlighting as well as LED-based replacement light sources for halogen light sources.
