Module Reflection

 Module Learning When i first attended this module, i quickly realised how much of information and experience I lacked in writing technical report. With the first task being the reader response draft, Prof Brad and myself could see the gaps in my writing skills, be it as simple as not knowing how to correctly implement the APA style for citation of sources to the general flow of my essay being confusing. As such, I knew this was a major weakness I had to tackle sooner rather than later as it will affect my future reports in the coming years as an undergraduate student as well as a working adult in the future.  As for my public speaking skills, i generally did not have an issue speaking up from my time in polytechnic to now, but i did also realise that i am not the best. Just by presenting with my fellow team mates, i immediately knew my standard was sub par and i have to raise my standards in future presentations. Important pointers such as posture, tonality and even simple hand gestur

My grades for participation

 In the course of this module, i believe that i demonstrated my 100% effort whenever i am in class. Although i have to be honest with myself that my attendance is not acceptable, i have to admit that i let factors outside of school to hinder me from allowing me to attend every class. However, i strongly feel that whenever i am in class, i am completely focused on the learning objectives, be it the blog posts or even the majority of the course where i had to sit down and discuss with my projectmates on our solution.  To be fair to myself and fellow classmates, i believe a grade of between Good/Acceptable is reasonable. Although i am an introvert, this module did push me to come out of my comfort zone and to interact with my classmates, through the summary reader response task and the project innovation. Furthermore, the task of giving constructive feedback to our peers also helped me to see where i can improve as others can provide insightful information based on their point of view. Su

Summary Reader Response Draft #3

  The electrifying technology behind Electric Vehicles (EVs), specifically Tesla models, ha s driven the transition towards solutions for automated transportation. In the area of vehicle automation, the Autopilot system, developed by Tesla, leads the charge for the future of cars and transportation by merging c utting-edge hardware with advanced software. Autopilot is an advanced driver a ssistance system (ADAS) that enhances safety and convenience when driving. At its core, Autopilot employs 8 external cameras, ultrasonic sensors, radar, and a powerful onboard computer to perceive and interpret the surrounding environment (Tesla, n.d.) . Its key features include Traffic-Aware Cruise Control (TACC) that adjusts the cruising speed of the vehicle to match surrounding traffic, Autosteer to assist in steering on vehicular roads, and n avigate on Autopilot to enable automated lane changes and highway interchanges. In addition to these driving-assist features, Autopilot also includes s

Summary Reader Response Draft #1

  Tesla’s Autopilot system, which incorporates features such as Full Self-Driving (FSD),  A dvanced D river A ssistance S ystem (ADAS) and Traffic-Aware Cruise Control (TACC), h ave several limitations that can make it dangerous for drivers. However, these features effectively alleviate the overall workload of the driver if utilized appropriately.     I t is important to note that these features are not intended to replace the presence of the driver entirely.   With that in mind, Autopilot and FSD c apabilit ies are intended for use with a fully attentive driver who has their hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any moment (Tesla, n.d.) . This means that drivers must remain vigilant and ready to always take control of the vehicle.   ADAS utilizes its eight external cameras and radar sensors to detect lane markings, other vehicles, and objects on the road . Thus, enabling the vehicle to steer, brake, and accelerate automatically with minimal input from the drive
