The test came just a few weeks after Uber had announced its driverless car service in Pittsburgh.
It also provides yet another indicator of a looming shift in the economy that could have deep political consequences. It is uncertain how long it will take for driverless trucks and cars to take over the roads. For now, any so-called autonomous vehicle will require a driver, albeit one who is often passive. But the potential loss of millions of jobs is Exhibit A in a report issued by the outgoing U.
It estimates that automated vehicles could threaten or alter 2. That includes the 1. It is hard to read the White House report without thinking about the presidential election that happened six weeks before it was published. The election was decided by a few Midwest states in the heart of what has long been called the Rust Belt. And the key issue for many voters there was the economy—or, more precisely, the shortage of relatively well-paying jobs.
In the rhetoric of the campaign, much of the blame for lost jobs went to globalization and the movement of manufacturing facilities overseas. Indeed, in his farewell speech to thousands in a packed convention hall in Chicago, President Obama warned: It will come from the relentless pace of automation that makes a lot of good middle-class jobs obsolete.
As it notes, the imminent problem is not that robots will hasten the day when there is no need for human workers. That end-of-work scenario remains speculative, and the report pays it little heed. Instead, it is far more concerned with the transition in our economy that is already under way: Automation has been displacing workers from a variety of occupations, includ-. Joel Mokyr, a leading economic historian at Northwestern University, has spent his career studying how people and societies have experienced the radical transitions spurred by advances in technology, such as the Industrial Revolution that began in the late 18th century.
And even if it does not, the alternative—technological stagnation—is far worse. But that still leaves a troubling quandary: According to the White House report, the U. And this funding has declined over the last 30 years. The picture is actually even worse than those numbers alone suggest, says Mark Muro, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. Not only is the overall funding limited, he says, but the help is too piecemeal to take on a broad labor-force disruption like automation.
However, the presidential election, he suggests, was a wake-up call for many people. Predictions about what types of jobs will be replaced and how fast vary widely. One commonly cited study from estimated that roughly 47 percent of U. Other reports—noting that jobs often involve multiple tasks, some of which might be easily automated while others are not—have come up with a smaller percentage of occupations that machines could make obsolete.
A recent study by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development estimates that around 9 percent of U. But the other part of the employment equation—how many jobs will be created—is essentially unknowable. But there is no reversing technological progress.
In the past, new technologies have greatly expanded overall employment opportunities. But no particular economic rule dictates that this will always be true. And some economists warn that we must not be overly sanguine about the consequences of automation and AI. Personal computers, the Internet, and other technologies of the last several decades did replace some bank tellers, cashiers, and others whose jobs involved routine tasks.
Will that pattern continue? But there appears to be no political appetite for such programs. Katz has published research showing that large investments in secondary education in the early s helped the nation make the shift from an agriculture-based economy to a manufacturing one. For example, some areas of the United States have successfully connected training programs at community colleges to local companies and their needs, he says, but other regions have not, and the federal government has done little in this realm.

The launch occurs as Western governments are under pressure to cut defence spending, and developing nations seek affordable aeronautical and defence technology to tackle a variety of emerging security challenges including terrorism, the effects of climate change and increased demand for peacekeeping and humanitarian relief operations.
Today we have unveiled an aircraft with global relevance, which was conceived, designed, engineered and will be manufactured right here in South Africa. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles UAVs have become increasingly popular but these platforms are complex and expensive, lack multi-role flexibility and situational awareness. For example, AHRLAC has strong defensive and offensive capabilities which mean that it can operate in hostile airspace, as well as the ability to carry out operations in domestic airspace because it is piloted. AHRLAC has important political implications for South Africa in strengthening economic relations and helping the country to be recognised as a strong centre for aerospace innovation and technology.
South Africa already leads the world in many fields such as sport and peacekeeping, now we will show the world that we can lead in the aerospace industry. The development of the aircraft is symbolic of Africa's growing confidence and increasing economic and political profile on the world stage.

Are you where you thought you would be in life? Did you have something you wanted to do with your life? Maybe you dreamt of traveling the world and never having to worry about money? Perhaps you had an ideal career that you wanted to pursue? You wanted to do something extraordinary, and do it with people you like being around. Did you have these dreams, and have they come to fruition?
My parents groomed me to fail financially, emotionally, relationally, and socially. I was raised in a horrific environment by parents who were drug addicts. My stepfather was six feet ten inches tall, pounds, and as violent as his size might imply. He roared like a lion, screaming at us daily.
He grabbed me by the throat and shoved me up against the wall to curse me out and call me every foul, disgusting, filthy name you have ever heard. The names I was called as a kid were so horrific you probably have never even heard them in your life. I was taught to deal with people who make you mad by using dirty and unspeakable words, or a fist to annihilate them. Even a horrible accident that left my mom handicapped did not stop the violence in our house.
My stepfather and mother still fought physically and screamed at each other and at us, the intensity of their outbursts dependent on the drugs they were doing at the time. I recall one particular memory: I was in my room doing my homework when I heard them going at it. So I stepped into the hail and looked toward the kitchen where I could see my mom standing with her walker up against the kitchen wall as she and my stepfather fought and screamed at each other. I could see my mom — all of five feet five inches — screaming at my stepfather as he towered over her.
I watched him hurl his fist and then elbow my mother in the nose, causing blood to squirt everywhere as he broke my handicapped mother's nose!

One of the priorities of the national education system in Belarus is the strengthening of environmental education and training. It is recognised that the latter should be based of the continuity of training programmes at all the levels of the existing education system, from pre-school to post-graduation facilities. The environmental education system in Belarus is being reformed. In this first nation-wide environmental training programme specific objectives of each of the types of public education were set out for:.
The overall goal of the Programme was to educate a person so that he or she could make environmentally sound decisions. One continuous process was to embrace pre-school children, secondary school students, specialists trained in vocational schools, environmental specialists trained in secondary technical schools or in high schools, environmental training courses for specialists in non-environmental fields, decision-makers through their qualification upgrade or retraining, post-university training for specialists of various expertise and pedagogical personnel, and, finally, environmental training for scientific cadre.
An environmentally conscious personality begins to develop in pre-school facilities, as it is at this age that a foundation for one's mindful attitude to the environment is laid. The existing Programme for educating and training children in pre-school facilities does not provide enough opportunities for raising environmentally aware children and is not thought to be conducive to give children the right measure of environmental awareness and culture.
Another yet higher level of environmental literacy is to be provided by secondary school. What secondary school generally is able to offer to its students is common knowledge about Nature, Society and Man, as well as to contribute to raising a person who would meet high creativity, ethics, psychical and physical health standards. Contemporary school's priorities include raising environmental awareness, fostering mindful and responsible attitude toward Nature, bringing to a high standard one's general personal background, including environment-wise.
There are three levels to the secondary school education, namely beginner's, pre-intermediate and intermediate. We were brought up together; there was not quite a year difference in our ages. I need not say that we were strangers to any species of disunion or dispute. Harmony was the soul of our companionship, and the diversity and contrast that subsisted in our characters drew us nearer together. Elizabeth was of a calmer and more concentrated disposition; but, with all my ardour, I was capable of a more intense application and was more deeply smitten with the thirst for knowledge.
She busied herself with following the aerial creations of the poets; and in the majestic and wondrous scenes which surrounded our Swiss home—the sublime shapes of the mountains, the changes of the seasons, tempest and calm, the silence of winter, and the life and turbulence of our Alpine summers—she found ample scope for admiration and delight. While my companion contemplated with a serious and satisfied spirit the magnificent appearances of things, I delighted in investigating their causes. The world was to me a secret which I desired to divine.
Curiosity, earnest research to learn the hidden laws of nature, gladness akin to rapture, as they were unfolded to me, are among the earliest sensations I can remember. Johnny was a young boy who lived in Australia. One day his friends offered him a choice between a one dollar coin and a two dollar coin. In Australia the one dollar coin is considerably larger than the two dollar coin.
Johnny took the one dollar coin. His friends giggled and laughed and reckoned Johnny very stupid because he did not yet know that the smaller coin was worth twice as much as the bigger coin. Whenever they wanted to demonstrate Johnny's stupidity they would repeat the exercise. Johnny never seemed to learn.
One day a bystander felt sorry for Johnny and beckoning him over, the bystander explained that the smaller coin was actually worth twice as much as the larger coin. Johnny listened politely, then he said: But how many times would they have offered me the coins if I had taken the two dollar coin the first time? A computer which has been programmed to select value would have had to choose the two dollar coin the first time around.
It was Johnny's human 'perception' that allowed him to take a different and longer-term view: Of course, it was a risk and the perception was very complex: Would they go on using the same game? Would they want to go on losing one dollar coins, etc.? The first point is the great importance of human perception, and that is what this book is about.
Perception is rather different from our traditional concept of logic. The second point arising from the story is the difference between the thinking of Johnny and the thinking of the computer. The thinking of the computer would be based on 'is'. The computer would say to itself: The thinking of Johnny was not based on 'is' but on 'to': The logic of perception is water logic and this is based on 'to'. The basic theme of the book is astonishingly simple. In fact it is so simple that many people will find it hard to understand. Such people feel that things ought to be complex in order to be serious.
Yet most complex matters turn out to be very simple once they are understood. Because the theme is so simple I shall attempt to describe it as simply as possible. Although the basic theme is simple the effects are powerful, important and complex. I have always been interested in practical outcomes. There are many practical processes, techniques and outcomes covered in this book. How would you like to 'see' your thinking as clearly as you might see a landscape from an aeroplane? There is a way of doing that which I shall describe.
This can be of great help in understanding our perceptions and even in altering them. I know that my books attract different sorts of readers. There are those who are genuinely interested in the long neglected subject of thinking and there are those who are only interested in practical 'hands-on' techniques. The latter type of reader may be impatient with the underlying theory, which is seen to be complex and unnecessary. I would like to be able to say to this sort of reader: It is very important to understand the theoretical basis in order to use the processes with real motivation.
Furthermore the underlying processes are fascinating in themselves. Understanding how the brain works is a subject of great interest. I have used no mathematical expressions in the book because it is a mistake to believe that mathematics the behaviour of relationships and processes within a defined universe has to be expressed in mathematical symbols which most people do not understand. He told me that he had found it very interesting because I had 'stumbled upon processes ten years before the mathematicians had started to describe them'. These are the processes of self-organizing systems which interested him for his work on chaos.
This book is a first look at water logic and my intention has been to put forward a method for using it in a practical manner. Viking, and Penguin In that book I set out to show that the traditional habits of Western thinking were inadequate and how our belief in their adequacy was both limiting and dangerous. These traditional habits include: These habits of thinking were ultimately derived from the classic Greek gang of three, Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, who hijacked Western thinking.
After the dogma of the Dark Ages, the rediscovery of this classical thinking was indeed a breath of fresh air and so these habits were taken up both by the Church to provide a weapon for attacking heresy and by the non-Church humanist thinkers to provide an escape from Church dogma.
So it became the established thinking of Western civilization. Unfortunately this thinking lacks the creative, design and constructive energies that we so badly need. Nor does this thinking take into account the huge importance of perception, beliefs and local truths. Finally this rock logic exacerbates the worst deficiencies of the human brain, which is why we have made progress in technical matters and so little in human affairs.
For the first time in history we do know something, in broad terms, about how the brain works as a self-organizing information system - and this has important implications. As I predicted the book was met with outrage that was so hysterical that it became comic and ludicrous rather than offensive. Not one of those who attacked the book ever challenged its basic themes. The attacks were in the nature of childish personal abuse or picked on very minor matters - which is always a sure indication that the reviewer is not reviewing the book but prefers to attack the author.
This is a pity because it is a serious subject which needs much more attention than it gets. It was Einstein who once said: To redress this balance, because the subject is important, I invited three Nobel prize physicists to write forewords to the book for future editions. Those forewords put the matter into perspective. Because physicists spend their whole lives looking at fundamental processes and their implications.
I had intended to add a section on water logic and 'hodics' to the book. In the end the book became too long and it was obvious that the section would have to be too short to do justice to the subject. In our tradition of thinking we have sought to get away from the vagueness and instability of perception in order to deal with such concrete matters as mathematics and logic. We have done reasonably well at this and can now get back to dealing with perception as such.
Indeed we have no choice because if our perceptions are faulty then perfect processing of those faulty perceptions can only give an answer that is wrong, and sometimes dangerous. We know from experience that both sides in any war, conflict or disagreement always have 'logic' on their side. How do perceptions come about? What is the origin and nature of perception? How do the nerve circuits in the brain form and use perceptions?
How do perceptions become stable - and stable enough to become beliefs? Can we get to look at our perceptions regarding any particular matter? Can we change perceptions—and if so, where do we start? This book does not provide all the answers but at the end of it the reader should have a good understanding of the difference between water logic and rock logic. The power pack produced by Lamor is designed to be used as a feed source for a small oil-skimmer and an oil pump.
LP 12 R can also supply power to the drum of Lamor oil-retention booms, to a high-pressure cleaning plant, a generator and a pressure blower. LPP 12R is equipped with an air-cooled hydraulic diesel engine. The power pack is positioned on a steel frame with hydraulic control. A hydraulic pump with a flexjoint and a flane is mounted on the engine to reduce the power. The engine has an electric starter that may be operated manually.

SU, and its most recent developments: SU hotel reservation form on their websites. September is when the high tourist season finishes, and holding such an important event at this time offers a nice chance to sum up what has been achieved over the season and set out to plan for the next. There is a theory that internationalization will create, or at least lead to, a common culture worldwide. This would make the life of international managers much simpler. There are, indeed, many products and services becoming common to world markets.
What is important to consider, however, is not what they are and where they are found physically, but what they mean to the people in each culture. As we will describe later, the essence of culture is not what is visible on the surface. It is the shared ways groups of people understand and interpret the world. So the fact that we can all listen to Walkmans and eat hamburgers tells us that there are some novel products that can be sold on a universal message, but it does not tell us what eating hamburgers or listening to Walkmans means in different cultures.
If business people want to gain understanding of and allegiance to their corporate goals, policies, products or services wherever they are doing business, they must understand what those and other aspects of management mean in different cultures. Consuming sea fish fat helps reduce triglyceride levels, but has almost no effect on those of both high and low-density lipoproteins.
This is a finding of a systemic review of 21 studies on estimating effects of sea fish fat consumption on heart disease seromarkers the total number of patients monitored was 8, by Dr. Ethan Balk et al. This may be a result of both a reduced production of triglyceride-rich particles in the liver, as well as their increased extraction.
According to this theory sea fish fat consumption has resulted in some increase in LDL cholesterol and high-density lipoproteins HDL levels — by 6. The authors believe that, as it is quite weak, the effect is hardly of any significance for heart disease risk. Sea fish fat consumption at a rate of 0. The results may form part of the final documentation. Once assembled the pig is checked for correctness to manufacturing drawings. Prior to despatch a dimensional survey is conducted to confirm compliance to manufacturing drawings.
If requested by the client, as-built drawings can be supplied and show actual final dimensions. Each pig can be indelibly marked with a unique identifier. The identifier may be systematic and may be designed to be legible on completion of the pigging operation. On multi-bolt pigs, the identifier can be marked on the pig body. On single-bolt pigs, the identifier can be marked on the central spacer, or one of the retaining flanges. As far as design allows, identifiers will not be marked on any consumable item on the pig.
On flexicast and foam pigs, the identifier can be marked on the pig material. The unique identifier can be used to identify each pig on the Certificate of Conformity as part of the documentation if required.
Excessive temperature and humidity combined causes deterioration of polyurethane elastomers. For long periods of storage, polyurethane products should be stored in an area away from direct sunlight and in low humidity. There are also moderate, low and very low pollution zones, with integrated, spread over large areas, problems in geosystems. Key adverse impacts on the environment in the oblast include: Areas with the highest contamination levels in Murmansk Oblast are found near the towns of Monchegorsk and Nickel and take up 3.
In terms of natural ecosystems these are human-caused wasteland with virtually all vegetation eliminated, with many species of mosses and lichens now extinct, as well as other species vulnerable to contamination, soils heavily affected and surface waters highly polluted. Another important area, in terms of high levels of pollution there, is linked with the development of apatite and nepheline ores in the Khibiny mountains.
The key source of environmental impact here is AO Apatite Company's apatite and nepheline ore enrichment factories and tailing dumps that account for up to 70 thousand tons of polluting discharges and emissions. In the area surrounding AO Apatite Company, over 30 million tons per year of waste materials containing strontium are dumped over an area of 3, km2.
Soil erosion processes are reported near quarries and tailing dumps. Yet another high pollution area is found on the south-west slope of the Khibiny, along the shores of Imandra Lake. The main contributors of pollution here include the Severonickel combine Monchegorsk and the dust coming from tailing dumps of apatite and nepheline ore enrichment factories and being carried over large distances.
Snow here has increased levels of metals. Strontium contamination in a large area south of the town-type settlement of Revda comes from the Lovozersk Ore Mining and Enrichment Company that specializes in rare earth metal ores. The components of the mixtures in question can include, in various combinations, the following substances: To calculate density, compressibility factor, and adiabatic exponent, this methodology is using a generalized fundamental equation of state GFES with affine transformations dependent of the mixture composition for reduced temperature and density of the base substance.
Methane and a fundamental equation of state FES were used as the base substance and its equation of state [1]. To calculate dynamic viscosity rate in rarified gas state, molecular-kinetic theory expressions were used. To calculate viscosity at working pressure, an expansion to higher orders of density was used, similar to the virial. In doing so, as the molecular interaction potential of all components but water vapor Lennard-Jones' potential 12 — 6 was used, with pure component parameters determined in the above range of temperatures and pressures from high accuracy dynamic viscosity rate data standard reference data, SRD, and recommended reference data, RRD.
To calculate the viscosity of water vapor, an empirical potential was used with parameters equal to those of the potential 12 - 6 - 3 , obtaned using standard reference data on water vapor dynamic viscosity rate. To account for dissimilar molecule interactions, the potential's parameters were calculated using semiempirical combinatory rules. Aside from the above thermophysical properties in one-phase state, this methodology allows determining the maximum equilibrium concentration solubility Xp of water vapors in a gas mixture, at a given temperature, pressure and concentrations of 'dry' components.
The values Xp are calculated using GFES for gaseous state, and the equations [2, 22] for the condensed phase — water or ice. This methodology is designed to help address issues in the flowmetry of dry and wet petroleum gases and similar multi-component gas mixtures.
Everyone knows that values are Important. Some people realise that values are going to become even more important than they have been before. In a strongly competitive world, competence is becoming a commodity. Competence is essential but It is only a baseline. When everyone is equally competent, what then? Information is another commodity. Information can be gathered or purchased.
It is what you do with Information that matters. State-of-the-art technology is becoming another commodity with a few exceptions. It is what you do with technology — the value concepts — that are going to matter as much as the technology Itself. The design of projects, products and services is a matter of creative thinking that focuses on value.
The decision whether to go ahead with a new project or product depends on value assessment. The choice between different alternatives and opportunities In our personal lives depends on value assessment. Although values are real, they are also vague and intangible, and it is difficult to think about them.
This is largely a perceptual problem. How do we 'see' values? This book puts forward a concrete 'framework' for looking at values and assessing them. The practicality of such frameworks has been shown by the very widespread use of the Six Thinking Hats framework in business, In law courts and in family discussions. We need to be able to see things clearly and to communicate our perception to others. The Six Value Medals framework does exactly this. Each of the 'medals' allows us to direct our attention to a different set of values. We can now do one thing at a time instead of trying to do everything at once.
Tossing up one ball at a time is easier than seeking to juggle with six. Different perceptions and assessments of value can now be compared and discussed. Attention Is under our control instead of being pulled only to what appears 'interesting'. Each medal suggests an appreciation of the values present in a defined area: The value spectrum is covered with the medals. It is sometimes useful to be able to see things at a single glance rather than remembering a lot of language. Two very simple visual notations have been put forward in this book. The 'value triangle' puts the different values forward in a simple flotation which can be taken in at a glance.
The 'value map' is more detailed. The map allows both an instant assessment but also the possibility of following values up in more detail. Both notations can be used on a personal level or for comparison between different people. The visual notations produced by individuals can be compared and discussed.
It is not enough to know that values are Important. We need better ways of perceiving values, talking about them and assessing them. That is the best basis for action of any sort. This book provides you with the tools to do this. More than that, even to Europe. No, take it off. So, how is it? I've got a problem.

In all the patients, the assays were conducted at the time of admittance to the clinique; in the CPE and OICC patients the tests were repeated on the 5th—6th and 20th—21nd day after the operation and conservative therapy. In total, 58 CPOM patients were operated, including extensive radical temporal bone surgery performed in 18 patients, radical ear surgery — in 28 patients, sanation surgery with tympanoplasty — in 4 patients.
Six patients underwent conservative radical ear surgery, 2 — atticoantrotomy. The CPOM severity was estimated based on symptomatology reviews, surgery findings and the nature of the pathological process in the middle ear. Eighteen CPOM patients received conservative treatment — cleaning the attic with antiseptic solutions, glucocorticoids, antibiotics and antihistamines, applied locally in liquid or powder form. Postoperatively, 58 were prescribed antibiotics, antihistamines, vitamins, ear dressings with tampons soaked in olive oil, or insufflations into the trephine cavity of a powder of sulfanilamides, antibiotics and diphenylhydramine conventional treatment.
Of these, 24 patients received a 10 day immune corrective treatment using Thymalinum. The latter was applied intramusculary adults 20 mg, children 10 mg per day and as Thymalinum-soaked tampons into the trephine cavity. The Thymalinum treated patients were not given postoperative oil tampons and powder insufflations. The role of the body's immune responsiveness and middle ear tissue immunity in the onset and course of CPOM was reviewed based on clinical-immunological and microbiological correlations. In 6 out of 10 patients, chronic mesotympanitis was noted to have a benign course, in the form of circumscribed mucositis with flares once a year or every 2—3 years, and mucous discharge from the ear; other symptoms of note included edema and thickening of the tympanic cavity mucus membrane, a reduced number of mastoid aeriferous cells, and conductive type grade 1 hearing impairment.
In the remaining 4 patients chronic mesotympanitis mucositis was extensive in nature, with mucopurulent discharge from the ear, freaquent flares, presence of granulations and polyps in the typmanic cavity, sclerotic changes in mastoid and grade II to III sensorineural type hearing impairment. Federal Law of November 23, The law regulates issues regarding energy conservation and increasing energy efficiency so as to create a stimulating legal, economic and logistical basis.
It has definitions of such terms as power resource, secondary power resource, energy conservation, energy efficiency, etc. The provisions include government support for investments using stimuli such as compensating part of interest payments on loans and subsidies given by Russian credit institutions for the implementation of investment projects in energy conservation and increasing energy efficiency. There offered stimuli for enhancing energy efficiency in industries e. The law requires that buildings, constructions and structures must be equipped with power meters till , and houses - till Another requirement is to have routine inspections for checking the compliance with energy conservation and increased energy efficiency requirements 2 or more times in every 3 years.
In particular, the Urban Planning Code includes requirements related to improved energy efficiency and buildings, constructions and structures having to be equipped with power consumption meters. The list of project documentation chapters now includes Chapter The contents of the parts is defined.
In particular, Law of This Law also defines a right of Federal executive bodies to adopt procedures for rendering government services and performing government functions in the areas of their competence, and that of the top officials in the regions - to endorse respective procedures prior to their adoption at the federal level.

The work to carry out the self-assessment of the existing capacity was done in strict adherence with a work plan approved by the Ministry of Environment, which is the government body primarily responsible for implementing the Conventions in Belarus. To take, to the fullest extent possible, into account different opinions and positions on issues related to the Conventions and action to implement these, stakeholders have been actively involved both at the stage of establishing working groups and that of reviewing achieved results upon completing specific stages of work through workshops, mini-seminars, peer review of interim reports, etc.
In pinpointing stakeholders such things were taken into account as: Capacity assessment for each of the Conventions was carried out article by article. Existing capacity was reviewed in the light of each article to identify constraints for meeting commitments, to make proposals so as to enhance the capacity at the individual, institutional and system level. Collecting and reviewing information was done by individual experts and groups of experts by means of document reviews, interviews, field missions e.
Luninets district , mini-seminars. Specific work objectives in each area were set out in a terms of reference approved with Minpriroda according to an agreed procedure. SWOT analysis was used to identify strengths and weaknesses in selected areas of implementing the Convention. To identify high priority issues in each area of a relevant Convention, a priority-setting matrix was used. Criteria to evaluate priority were the scale of a problem, level of its topicality and possibility of addressing it adequately.
To pinpoint constraints for building capacity needed to meet commitments under the 3 Conventions and identify some possible solutions, an analysis of root causes was carried out. For this the problem tree method was used. In carrying out such analysis primary focus was placed on the cross-cutting problems among the three conventions, not special cases. Drawing on the results of the capacity assessment exercise, the National Capacity Enhancement Priority Action Plan was developed.
For now, any so-called autonomous vehicle will require a driver, albeit one who is often passive.
