Khalifa University Safety of Autonomous Vehicles Discussion I attached documents that explain the task that needs to be done:
Im supposed to discuss about three Interesting results from all three graphs, so from graph 1) talk about why both genders choose maybe more than yes or no. 2) talk about why are there a high percentages of agree or strongly agree. 3) talk about why more males vote that they blame the insurance company for crashes, as well as why females would blame the engineers. Like why more males choose this and why more females choose this
And look at the literature review for the old resources
If you want to use new resources, that would be fine A couple things to avoid in the discussion section
1) Unclear paragraph structure, unclear logic, grammar errors, lack of hedging, no
connection to the literature
In addition, results in graph 2 have indicated that a higher number of students were more
familiar with how simulation program has enabled there better understanding of hard concepts.
Moreover, a familiar result was obtained, i.e. 67 percent of people decided that simulation
software was more helpful in explaining difficult concepts than conventional methods. It would
be valid to say that there was a major intersection in people who voted for their familiarity as
experts and people who chose the advantage of how simulation programs helps in solving
difficult problems.
2) Including more than one result per paragraph
When examining the changes that were observed, it can be noted that most male students
noticed a change in the sleep patterns of their siblings, yet for the female students this was the
least stated behavior. According to [1], it was expected that smartphones might impact the
sleeping behaviors of children, but the change in the childrens sleeping habits from both male
and female respondents was not distinguished. This might have happened because men often
arrive home late and when they do they notice their younger siblings are awake because of
smartphones. A significantly equivalent portion of the students, from both genders, agree that
smartphones had negatively impacted their siblings. The results suggest that childrens
accessibility to cell phones made them more aggressive, decreased the time they spend with
the family, and led to some sort of isolation. These findings have been found surprising, since it
was not common that the results of men and women match in this survey. This was previously
predicted from the literature review, where [2] came with a similar conclusion. A significant
difference was noted in the results that were obtained from the male and female students
regarding the influenced bad behavior. Fourteen percent of male students verses twenty-nine
percent of female students stated that smartphones have altered their siblings behaviors
detrimentally. A possible reason for this might be because children act more freely around their
sisters than their brothers since brothers tend to be stricter, so the females are the ones
noticing the actual behavior. For instance, it is possible that smartphones may influence bad
behavior on children. This finding was discussed in the literature review where [3] claim that
smartphones can influence bad habits on children.
3) Talking about the result generally without getting to the point
The third result concluded students opinions on online courses. The result was so predictable and
satisfying. 80% of the students recommended online courses in KU.
4) Be careful about what you claim you found
Another result showed how smartphones have negative impacts on childrens communication skills.
Many students said that children encounter difficulties in communicating face-to-face with others in real
life. I found that from the isolation causes children to become shyer and less confident in public, which
leads them to have problems communicating face-to-face with others in real life. A study [1] mentioned
that children find difficulty in communicating face-to-face or holding a conversation with others. Parents
were also facing problems with their children because of how this technology can make children have less
conversations with them [2].
5) Avoid biased logic
The health of children can also depend on their activities and their time spent on
entertainment, and the most things that children use for entertainment is
electronic devices. We found that male participants have always had more
electronic devices than females at the age of 14, but what was surprising is that
3% of males did not own electronic devices compared to 46% of the females who
did not own electronic devices. Moreover, a study done with 343 participants
about the age of 13 stated that nearly 6% did not own any electronic devices
disregarding the gender [2]. That might be because women care more about their
looks, while men focus more on what they own. Therefore, males tend to lean
towards materialistic stuff while females focus more on clothing and makeup.
Planning the Discussion Section v.2
The discussion section, more than any other section of the research project, depends on the
quality of your ideas and reasoning. Therefore, for this section, you will need to develop some
ideas and theories as to why you achieved some of the results you did and get feedback on
them from your peers and your instructor before you start writing. Use the form below to identify
specific results and brainstorm reasons why this might be the case and what possible
consequences or implications these might have.
You need to do this for at least 3 specific results and bring to class tomorrow:
1)

Dubai Autonomous Transportation Strategies
Dubai Autonomous Transportation Strategy seeks to change on at least a quarter of the
countrys entire mode of transportation by 2030. The autonomous mode by bringing AED 22
billion in per capita monetary revenues from many fields through the reduction of transport
costs, improvement of individual productivity, carbon emissions and accidents, and saving of
time that would otherwise be wasted on the regular transportation model. Primarily, the strategy
aims at a drastic cut on the cost of transportation by up to 44% which save the country about
AED 900 million annually (Bahamonde-Birke, Kickhöfer, Heinrichs, & Kuhnimhof, 2018).
Also, the strategy seeks to help the country make an annual saving of about AED 1.5 billion
through a 12% reduction on environmental pollution. Subsequently, the program will generate
AED 18 billion each year as part of the economic returns. According to Nicolaides, Avraam,
Cueto-Felgueroso, Gonzalez, and Juanes, (2019), the monetary generation will result from
increased transportation efficiency. Also, the approach aims to foster a reduction in traffic
accidents by at least 12% which will help the country save about AED 2 billion each year. More
important, the approach works to improve individual productivity by 13 % by saving time spent
on transportation [3]. The program will save Dubai about 396 hours that is often wasted on the
transportation of goods and services using the usual transportation methods.
According to the report [1], the strategy anchors on four crucial pillars including
individuals, technology, legislative structure, and infrastructural development. Moreover, the
initiators identify metro, buses, and taxis as the primary sectors for its application. The idea is
that individuals have to embrace the strategy and advance on the use of technology through
proper legislation that eventually advances the infrastructure of the country. Therefore, it is a

cross-sectoral initiative that considers the four stated dimensions of economic development. The
country had a large population of people who form part of the indusial group; a person has to
identify with the project and resolve to support it in all their undertakings [3]. Afterward, they
have to embrace the rapidly advancing technology which Dubai has embraced to a large extent
and using to advance other sectors of the economy. The government, on the other hand, had to
initiate sustainable legislative initiatives and the development of policies that would significantly
support the efforts of all the other actors. The eventual outcome is a sustainable infrastructural
development that can save the country from a massive loss of resources on unnecessary
undertakings. On the technological front, Dubai is one of the countries that are leading the world
in the development of up to date technology which is critical in the advancement of modern
infrastructure [2]. Therefore, the country is keen to embrace the development of sustainable
infrastructure. The idea behind the initiative is to save the country on bother financial and time
that can be used to develop other sectors of the economy. Mostly, the new transportation system
takes into consideration matters of safety on the part of the population and convenience on the
part of the investors. On the other hand, government benefits when the country improves her per
capita income which directly improves the GDP. The result is that the government can
conveniently develop other sectors of the economy without straining or having to deprive other
areas of scarce resources.

Discussion
(Theme: Limited Water Resources)
In this section, the results of the limited water resources issue will be discussed and
analyzed. The results showed that both female and male students in Khalifa University consider
conservation of water as a prominent issue. According to the results, a great number of students
think that the preservation of water is essential. There are two possible reasons that logically
explain that result. The first possible reason is that people may have prior knowledge about the
challenges the UAE faces regarding water management. The second possible reason is that
people may connect water issues to the hot and dry climate of the UAE. This result was
expected because it is analogous to the conclusions of previous studies [1] and [2]. The first
study [1], mentioned that they are many awareness campaigns regarding the water issues in the
UAE. The second study [2] concluded that the main conditions that do not allow water
conservation are high evaporation rates, low average annual rainfall, and the sandy soil [2].
The results section showed that a great majority of the students consider conservation
of water as an important issue. However, the results demonstrated that most students were not
aware of the water consumption per capita per day in the UAE. The results revealed that many
students think that water consumption per capita per day was less than 550 liters. An essential
study [3], demonstrated that the UAE has one of the highest water consumption rates in the
world, which is 550 liters per capita per day. This contradiction could be interpreted with one
potential reason. A possible explanation could be that many students acknowledge that there
are water issues in the UAE, but they do not know the size of these issues. This argument can
be strengthened if more students took the survey. Increasing the number of students may give
more data about water consumption in the UAE to be examined. Besides, having more data
could vary the results and give a clearer argument.
The results section presented students answers to the main reason for limited water
resources. According to the results, the main reason for limited water resources was high water
consumption by the citizen, and the least chosen reason was the high water consumption in
agriculture. This conclusion conflicts with another conclusion from a study about the limited
fresh water resources in the UAE [2]. This study [2] found that the agricultural sector in the
UAE consumes about 83% of the total water demand of the country, and it is higher than the
water consumption by the citizens. There are two probable reasons for these incompatible
conclusions from the results and the study. The first possibility is that many students may not
be engaged in the agriculture sector, so they might not have enough information about water
consumption in agriculture. A second possible reason could be that students might have more
experience regarding how the citizens consume water since they are part of the society. The
conclusion could be presented better if the students were asked to explain their answers
regarding the main reason for limited water resources.
