Summary Draft #1 "Driverless Vehicles"
The article, “Driverless Vehicles” from Ministry of Transport’s (MOT) website (2018) states the use of
autonomous vehicle (AV) technology will potentially transform the lives of singaporeans and Singapore
herself. AV will improve manpower productivity with the decrease of number of drivers to vehicles ratio.
According to a 2011 MIT study in Singapore, car-sharing amongst singaporeans will decrease the
number of vehicles on the road, hence reducing carbon footprint. In 2015, a test run on driverless
vehicles had been conducted, with the course comprising of “light and heavy traffic routes, under real
traffic conditions”. Thus, providing transportation solutions to increase efficiency of road usage.
Furthermore, Committee on Autonomous Road Transport (CARTS) had been set up to direct and
explore the prospects of AV in the future. In order to create a Smart Nation, MOT will work closely with
CARTS towards making this vision into a reality.

ReplyDeleteHi Shannyn,
ReplyDeleteThis is a well-written summary but here are some errors that we found:
- Lacks points on how it will benefit commuters in the future
- Paraphrasing could be improved
Overall, you summary mostly lies on the "technology" part.
