Research Pathway on Waymo's Autopilot 

 Research Pathway of Xavier and Ken on Waymo's Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Capability systems:

1. Xavier saw that Electric vehicles (EVs) are the future of automobiles, and chance upon that Waymo has a Full Self-Driving (FSD) System in progress.

2. Ken asked ChatGPT (an overview of Waymo driverless car) for a summarised overview of Waymo's Autonomous self-driving technology. 

3. The team started reading Articles on Google search (what is special about Waymo's self-driving?) 

4. The team watch TikTok videos to understand more about self-driving System

5. The team began writing all the various features and functions of the system in Google Docs.

6. The team compared the systems with other EV autonomous competitors such as Tesla and Rivian 

7. The team figured out what are the pros and cons of the system 

8. The team conducted research and collected data from more corroborating websites.

9. The team has compiled all the sources and is ready to start on the summary

Self introduction

Subject: self-introduction  Dear Professor Blackstone,  I hope after reading this letter you will get to know more about me. I previously studied Mechanical Engineering at Singapore Polytechnic specializing in precision engineering. Since young my dad and friends have always talked about automobiles which influenced me to want to find out more about them. The more I research about it, the more I find them interesting like how they work and how technologies have improved to make the product better than before. This interest made me decide to take on an engineering course in Polytechnic.  One weakness I have in communication is talking to strangers or people I am not close with. One example is that I feel uneasy when I have to speak in front of the class or strangers. I can be very expressive and fun when talking to people I am close with but once I have to talk to people I do not know I will not be myself and find it hard to say what I had planned. This is something I want to improve on

Quotation Analysis of the importance of communication skills for engineers. “Communication skills are an essential component in the education of engineering students to facilitate not just students’ education but also to prepare them for their future careers.” -Marc Riemer, Faculty of Engineering, Monash University (2007) The statement above is absolutely true. Professors, lecturers, and educators of engineering need to have the charisma and communication skills to be able to impart their knowledge and the learning materials in a way that is engaging and that inspires future generations of engineers to strive to be better than the generations who came before them. Communication skills are also integral for engineers to work efficiently, collaborate effectively, and ensure the success of their projects. Engineering students who learn to communicate well not only contribute to the success of their teams but also enhance their own professional development to be the best in their respectiv

Summary Draft 1

 Summary Draft 1          Picture of Waymo car      (Gould and Muoio, Business Insider, 2017) Waymo, "A New Way Forward in Mobility," is a self-driving technology company that originated as a project within Google, integrating a range of advanced features for safety and efficiency. According to Waymo's article, "The Waymo Driver is our autonomous driving technology that never gets drunk, tired, or distracted." Autonomous ride-hailing vehicles, like Waymo, have the potential to significantly improve road safety because of their capacity to lessen risks related to human fatigue, distraction, and impairment. Autonomy's intrinsic benefits point to a safer driving environment with fewer human-related accidents, even in the face of persistent technological obstacles. These vehicles utilize a combination of lidar, radar, cameras, GPS, and IMU sensors to perceive their surroundings with exceptional precision. High-definition maps provide additional context for navi
