Problem 10

Problem 10

Physical Health

The future scene states that information is streamed continuously to the car to provide advice on the best route to her destination. Roadside furniture like traffic signals and road signs are also giving advice to her car for safe and efficient travel. The roadside technology giving data to the cars might have the connection disrupted or the systems could be physically damaged. This could be problematic as accidents may happen due to incomplete or inaccurate data.

Problem 9

Social Relationships

The future scene states that through her smart device, she is able to time her arrival at MRT stations and bus stops to minimize waiting time. When public transport apps are to breakdown in the future where people rely a lot on them to get around the jams, it may cause a massive jam that will inconvenience many. Such over-reliance on the app is a huge problem and should be corrected quickly.

Research

Thus we can see that if the system improve further, and when the system somehow breaks down, there will be massive inconvenience due to the reliance on these information
