Reader Response Draft v1

In the article, “Singapore revs up engines for autonomous vehicle race”, Noble (2019) mentions the growing trend of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) in Singapore. To incorporate AVs into Singapore’s transport system, four organizations have adjudicated a temporary national standard termed Technical Reference 68 (TR68). According to Fitch Ratings, the implementation of TR68 would promote the growth and acceptance of AVs in Singapore. This would also further entice autonomous technology firms into Singapore. With the combined factors of the ageing population and the pressure to monitor the drivers’ mental capabilities, the government is viewing into the option of AVs. Elaine Chao (2019) stresses that “AV could pave the way for road safety, citing that 94% of vehicular accidents have taken place due to human error”. AVs would not only benefit the safety of the aged but also opens up mobility opportunities for people with disabilities. In summary, Noble (2019) asserts that the emergence of AVs

Growing Trend of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) In Singapore I.                     Technical Reference 68 (TR68) II.                   Growth and Acceptance of AVs III.                 Safety of the aged & Mobility for people with disabilities Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) have yet to reach implementation phase IV.                Safety of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) -          As different motorists have different driving habits and practices, how can AVs coexist with them in Singapore’s transport system? In addition, is AVs able to drive and ensure the safety of its passengers with reckless motorists, who would potentially break laws like making an illegal U-turn, on the road? Furthermore, there are many tangibles like passengers who could be jaywalking or dashing onto the road. -          More drink-driving accidents, motorists running red lights https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/more-ran-red-lights-drink-driving-accidents-in-

Assignment 1 - Formal Letter

Dear Mdm. Fazilah I am Jantzen Lee Jian En from SIE2016 Effective Communication Tutorial Group 3. Graduated with a diploma in International Logistics & Supply Chain Management from Ngee Ann Polytechnic, I had initially intended to pursue my further studies in the same field. However, due to the changing industry needs, multiple renowned universities had decided to remove the program deeming it obsolete. Despite the uncertainty, I remained unfazed and explored other fields of programs. It was then when I chanced upon Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering (Land) in SIT. As a Thinking Tinkerer, I was intrigued by the workings of complex mechanisms and equipment. Also, the railway industry in Singapore is ever-growing with URA’s masterplan. After considerations, I decided to further pursue SIE (Land) with my supply chain knowledge as a value-added skill set that I can offer to my future employers. One of the communication strengths I have gained is having confidence. Through
