  Electric Vehicles The electrifying technology behind Electric Vehicles (EVs), specifically Tesla models, have driven the transition towards solutions for automated transportation (Armstrong, 2023). In the area of vehicle automation, the Autopilot system, developed by Tesla, leads the charge for the future of cars and transportation by merging cutting-edge hardware with advanced software. Autopilot is an advanced driver assistance 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 with steering on vehicular roads, and navigate on Autopilot to enable automated lane changes and highway interchanges. In addition to these driving-assist feat...

 Subject: Hui Hao's Self-Introduction. Dear Professor Brad, I am writing to introduce myself to you as a student in your Critical thinking and Communicating class. My name is Hui Hao, I am a Year 1 Mechanical Engineering student from SIT. I graduated from Temasek Polytechnic in 2021 with a diploma in Mechatronics specializing in Aerospace System, I feel like Mechanical Engineering has always been a part of me since I was young. I used to love collecting Gunpla models when I was younger, which are mecha model kits that comes with pre-molded plastic that can be snapped together without the use of glue or paint. I take great joy in assembling the parts, especially the process of understanding the mechanics and articulation of the parts. I find Gunplas to be a rewarding experience and it definitely brought an interest of robotics and exposed me to mechanical concepts like gears and joints. I therefore decided to take that passion and interest I have to pursue a diploma and degree in Me...
