Summary Draft #2

Summary, Draft #2:
Driverless Vehicle

In the web article, “Driverless vehicles: A vision for Singapore’s transport”, Ministry of Transport (MOT) (2018) envisions that in the future of transportation in Singapore, driverless vehicles will develop transportation to be safer, more convenient and more environmentally friendly. MOT explains that the Autonomous Vehicle (AV) technology is reaching the next stage of development and there are many cities competing for the deployment of AV technology. MOT explains that a committee was formed to map out the strategic direction for AVs in Singapore. MOT pictures a utopian future where AVs will potentially reduce two thirds of the vehicles on the road, optimize travel routes, and revolutionize the freight industry to grow efficiently. MOT says that AVs are already being deployed in public transport and areas in Singapore and requests Singapore to answer appropriately to unlock the potential of AVs. While I agree that the potential of AVs is undeniable, there are still many complications to consider – the danger, ethics and safety, especially when dealing with technology.
