The value of Singapore - is to make Singapore a "hotbed of innovation" --- so that we can attract investors, venture capitalist, r&d, etc into our shores.

Cutting edge technologies will be tested in Singapore as a pilot site for commercially viable products.

This autonomous AV is a good example.

If successfully tested and deployed, it will create jobs, fuel business opportunities and boost export.

In addition, driverless autonomous AV provide a niche area to serve public and complement all the current public transport plus private hired cars.

It will not fully replaced vthe current mode of transport.

Gan veronica....
ya, u r right ! I was once a soldier,i did my ns and reservist. I m not frightened by a single disruption,i m frightened by multi-disruptions as i was nt frightened by a single bullet but frightened by multiple bullets such as machine-gun. But now,i m a paying commuter & i depend on a good reliable transport.

You have to imagine yourself living in your house - but your electrical system, your water pipes, and many of your gadget is reaching its shelf life - and need to replace or upgrade.

And you will need to continue to live in the house, use your gadgets, use electricity, use water ---- while your contractors replace your water pipe, change your electrical system, or service your gadgets such as your air-con, your fan, your computer etc.

In the midst of this, won't you experience multiple disruptions --- or are you expecting no disruptions at all?

Or would you fire your electrical contractor if he cause your computer to trip while he replace the electrical circuit?

Or would you fire your water pipe contractor - when you bathe and the water supply is cut off?

Soon you will find no contractors working for you - or no contractors want to take up your project --- and your house will be in deteriorating shamble state.

Now the MRT are reaching 20 years and 30 years shelf life - alot of parts, signaling sytem need to be replace, upgrade.

New MRT lines with new signaling system and parts are coming in - and need to integrate with the old system. Signal interference will bound to occur.

Like the analogy of your house to be upgraded and repair - multiple disruptions will bound to occur.

Unless you are willing to live in the park while your contractors revamp the whole house or if commuters are not taking MRT for 1 whole year while the MRT is revamp ---- then upon completion disruptions will be minimal.

Are you willing to do this or are commuters are willing to commute without MRT for 1 year?
