UCS 1001 MEC

Dear Professor Blackstone, Below is my critical reflection which includes my module and project learning experiences. Module Learning When I had just started the module, I had assumed that the content and method of teaching would be similar to what I had learnt during my polytechnic study. This was because the aim of the previous module and UCS had more or less the same goal, which was to improve communication and writing skills. However, during my time in UCS for the last 13 weeks, I have gained valuable knowledge different from what I had expected and experienced in polytechnic.

Tesla’s web page on “Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Capability” (2023-a) introduces the unique function and features of their Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot and Full-Self Driving Capability (FSD). One important function of Tesla’s autopilot is the advanced driver assistance system that boosts the safety and convenience of its occupants (Tesla, 2023-a). Moreover, when autopilot is utilised correctly, it can help reduce the overall burden on the driver (Tesla, 2023-a). Presently, Tesla cars constructed for the North American market utilise eight external cameras mounted on the car instead of radar systems (Tesla, 2023-a). The cameras altogether provide a visibility of 360 degrees and up to a range of 250 metres (Tesla, 2023-b). In terms of features, Tesla’s autopilot includes capabilities such as “Traffic-Aware Cruise Control”, “Smart Summon” and “Traffic and Stop Sign Control” for FSD. Furthermore, Tesla’s Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot and FSD are rated level 2 by the Society of Automot

 Dear Professor Blackstone, Thank you for educating me for the last 13 weeks. Your insights and teachings have given me a better understanding of the needs and ways to communicate to people in presentations and how to write in a more comprehensive way.

Additionally, I do my best in assisting my classmates during peer evaluation or when they require help in their writing. Best regards, Isaac Lee
