It's unlikely to be deployed in a large scale before they're absolutely sure it works and is safe. Although - there have been those cases where Google's self-driving cars have been in accidents because they're driving TOO well!Singapore to test self-driving public transit vehicles by end of 2016
That's definitely one concern. But it also depends how reliable the technology will be. I can't see it implemented too quickly.Singapore to test self-driving public transit vehicles by end of 2016

Writer question! What's the toughest part of being an editor? Do you guys find it a rewarding evolution of the job, or would you rather just be writing?We’re the Tech in Asia editorial team. Ask us anything!
We proved it's super-hard to file a really important article the next day :PWe’re the Tech in Asia editorial team. Ask us anything!
I'd say the culture is heavy on communication - we constantly talk to each other, comparing notes, giving and taking feedback, and also goofing off. It's a relaxed and casual atmosphere, in which you can feel free to express opinions and contribute, and also be sure that you'll receive honest feedback that helps you improve at your job.We’re the Tech in Asia editorial team.

Same for me - I loved writing ever since I was a kid. I had never thought I could turn it into a job, and I studied law at university. But my transition from student life to working life coincided with the rise of blogging and social media, which I used to sort of create a portfolio for myself - not consciously, at first, but more deliberately as time went by. It helped me get my foot in a door when the time came to start knocking on them. For anyone starting today, I'd say you have to consume a lot of information, get well versed in a variety of topics, and then develop marketable skills - not just writing, because the web is now so much more than text.We’re the Tech in Asia editorial team.

Actually, I wanted to ask you the same question, Jacob!We’re the Tech in Asia editorial team. Ask us anything!
Perks: Like I said in another comment, meeting amazing people in an almost daily basis. Getting to peek behind the scenes into things that are literally changing the world. Also, getting paid to write, which I can't stress enough how much of a blessing it is. Mehs: Getting inundated with different requests for coverage, many of which are completely outside what we do. People confusing what we do with public relations/marketing - nothing wrong with those, but that's not what we do here. If I hadn't stepped into journalism, I'd probably try to make the best out of my university degree and be a lawyer :)We’re the Tech in Asia editorial team. Ask us anything!
It would be Japan for me. Maybe it's not the most active market right now, but I feel its technology space is very exciting.We’re the Tech in Asia editorial team. Ask us anything!
It's not dead, nor is it going to die. But it has to evolve. Some of the best print publications out there right now are the ones that can combine good, in-depth content with quality presentation.We’re the Tech in Asia editorial team. Ask us anything!
Hey there, I'm Michael, writer with the Singapore team! For me, the most rewarding part of this job is the chance to meet all sorts of interesting people. Tech draws in some of the smartest, most creative, and straight-up exciting professionals, whether they're entrepreneurs, engineers, creatives, etc. This job gives me the chance to rub shoulders with so many of them I wouldn't be able to meet otherwise.We’re the Tech in Asia editorial team.

Thanks for your feedback. It's true that these startups are fighting symptoms and not causes, but I don't think this makes their work any less noteworthy. Good day to you as well!Air pollution, smog, and haze getting all up in your face? These startups can help
