As far as I know, ERP is not a mere toll system that cares nothing but money. It
is actually designed for the greater good: a smooth traffic flow characteristic
of the efficiency-minded Singapore. Money is only a means to an end, so to
speak. The ERP system, as I remembered, is a world’s first, uniquely Singapore
invention for fighting traffic jams, and has been hailed as a genius answer to a
common problem in large metropolitan centers around world. A wonder remedy for a
disease brought about by advancement of civilization, very much like the
cholesterol-clogged blood circulation in human bodies.
Does Kantian ethics include the treatment of non-subjects i.e. objects as means to an end? What about exploitation of environment? Hmm...
