#790 ft. Nicholas Ng – Autonomous Vehicles Better Than Human Drivers? SG’s AV Plan Explained

Driverless vehicles aren’t coming “one day”. They’re already here.Nicholas Ng, Director of the Centre for Autonomous Vehicles at LTA, explains how Singapore is testing and rolling out autonomous vehicles (AV), and how that will enhance future transport options. We cover the AV trials in Punggol (which we personally experienced), as well as the strict safety frameworks behind the scenes.Are AVs actually safer than human drivers? What happens when machines make decisions on the roads? And are we truly giving up control?𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙹 đ™šđ™„đ™žđ™šđ™€đ™™đ™š 𝙞𝙹 đ™—đ™§đ™€đ™Șđ™œđ™đ™© đ™©đ™€ đ™źđ™€đ™Ș 𝙗𝙼 đ™©đ™đ™š 𝙇𝙖𝙣𝙙 đ™đ™§đ™–đ™Łđ™šđ™„đ™€đ™§đ™© đ˜Œđ™Șđ™©đ™đ™€đ™§đ™žđ™©đ™ź (đ™‡đ™đ˜Œ).𝘈𝘮 đ˜±đ˜ąđ˜łđ˜” 𝘰𝘧 đ˜Šđ˜§đ˜§đ˜°đ˜łđ˜”đ˜Ž đ˜”đ˜° đ˜Žđ˜¶đ˜±đ˜±đ˜°đ˜łđ˜” đ˜ąđ˜Żđ˜„ đ˜Žđ˜”đ˜łđ˜Šđ˜Żđ˜šđ˜”đ˜©đ˜Šđ˜Ż 𝘚đ˜Șđ˜Żđ˜šđ˜ąđ˜±đ˜°đ˜łđ˜Šâ€™đ˜Ž đ˜±đ˜¶đ˜Łđ˜­đ˜Șđ˜€ đ˜”đ˜łđ˜ąđ˜Żđ˜Žđ˜±đ˜°đ˜łđ˜” đ˜Żđ˜Šđ˜”đ˜žđ˜°đ˜łđ˜Ź, đ˜”đ˜©đ˜Š đ˜±đ˜­đ˜ąđ˜Żđ˜Ž đ˜”đ˜° đ˜ąđ˜€đ˜€đ˜Šđ˜­đ˜Šđ˜łđ˜ąđ˜”đ˜Š đ˜”đ˜©đ˜Š đ˜„đ˜Šđ˜±đ˜­đ˜°đ˜șđ˜źđ˜Šđ˜Żđ˜” 𝘰𝘧 đ˜ąđ˜¶đ˜”đ˜°đ˜Żđ˜°đ˜źđ˜°đ˜¶đ˜Ž đ˜·đ˜Šđ˜©đ˜Șđ˜€đ˜­đ˜Šđ˜Ž 𝘣𝘩𝘹đ˜Ș𝘯𝘮 𝘾đ˜Șđ˜”đ˜© 𝘓𝘛𝘈’𝘮 đ˜±đ˜Șđ˜­đ˜°đ˜” đ˜”đ˜Šđ˜Žđ˜”đ˜Ș𝘯𝘹 𝘰𝘧 đ˜ąđ˜¶đ˜”đ˜°đ˜Żđ˜°đ˜źđ˜°đ˜¶đ˜Ž đ˜Žđ˜©đ˜¶đ˜”đ˜”đ˜­đ˜Šđ˜Ž đ˜Ș𝘯 đ˜—đ˜¶đ˜Żđ˜šđ˜šđ˜°đ˜­.đ˜ đ˜°đ˜¶ 𝘾đ˜Ș𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘩 𝘱𝘣𝘭𝘩 đ˜”đ˜° 𝘳𝘩𝘹đ˜Șđ˜Žđ˜”đ˜Šđ˜ł 𝘰𝘯𝘭đ˜Ș𝘯𝘩 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘱 𝘳đ˜Șđ˜„đ˜Š 𝘰𝘯 đ˜”đ˜©đ˜Š đ˜ąđ˜¶đ˜”đ˜°đ˜Żđ˜°đ˜źđ˜°đ˜¶đ˜Ž đ˜Žđ˜©đ˜¶đ˜”đ˜”đ˜­đ˜Š 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘼 25 đ˜”đ˜ąđ˜łđ˜€đ˜©. đ˜™đ˜Šđ˜ąđ˜€đ˜© đ˜°đ˜¶đ˜” đ˜”đ˜° đ˜ˆđ˜¶đ˜”đ˜°đ˜Żđ˜°đ˜źđ˜°đ˜¶đ˜Ž_đ˜đ˜Šđ˜©đ˜Șđ˜€đ˜­đ˜Š@đ˜­đ˜”đ˜ą.đ˜šđ˜°đ˜·.𝘮𝘹 đ˜”đ˜° đ˜Șđ˜Żđ˜„đ˜Șđ˜€đ˜ąđ˜”đ˜Š đ˜șđ˜°đ˜¶đ˜ł đ˜Șđ˜Żđ˜”đ˜Šđ˜łđ˜Šđ˜Žđ˜” 𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘾 𝘓𝘛𝘈’𝘮 đ˜Žđ˜°đ˜€đ˜Ș𝘱𝘭 đ˜źđ˜Šđ˜„đ˜Ș𝘱 đ˜±đ˜ąđ˜šđ˜Šđ˜Ž 𝘧𝘰𝘳 đ˜¶đ˜±đ˜„đ˜ąđ˜”đ˜Šđ˜Ž.đ—Șđ—Œđ—żđ—ž đ˜„đ—¶đ˜đ—” 𝘂𝘀!Drop us an email at contact@ministryoffunny.com!
