Nothing is sacred. Bye pie alamode, root beer floats, banana splits, and hot fudge sundaes. Life is not fair. If I put cheddar cheese on my popcorn, is that racist? Does fried chicken and sliced watermelon ( remember I’m an old white guy) make me racist, I really like all this stuff. Good lord tell me pizza is ok.

The obvious solution is to give all black people a car, so they don’t walk. See, the solution is simple and obvious.

Maybe the article for this thread, was started by people, with exactly this in mind.

Reminds me of some controversy over Kodak (?) film accused of being “racist” because it didn’t have the dynamic range to process darker skin tones.

NONE SHALL PASS!


In Germany, they will block your car and demand money if you want to pass.
It doesn't always work though.

Maybe pedestrians will take the initiative and look both ways before crossing a street. It isn’t as though the cars are seeking people out.

"Good lord tell me pizza is ok."

Bit of cultural appropriation there, don't you think?

Also, I must struggle against your profane use of religious reference, in a public space, where children might see and ask about it (those fist two words in your quote - G**d L**d).

Perhaps some of the newer politically sanctified topics might be better additions, to clean that up a bit (e.g. Gay anal sex or transgenderism references - can't go wrong with them).

And what about Oreo cookies? Is it racist to open them up and eat the white filling first?

Self-driving cars, having superior intelligence, should know not to enter certain areas in which the probability of encountering black people is particularly high.

Just like people do.

In a pre-publication scientific paper, researchers from the University of Georgia found that computer vision systems are better at detecting people with lighter skin tones.

...

I imagine human eyes are worse.

Everything is racist.

motorists across the pond have to carry yellow vests in their cars. When silent ‘lectric driverless cars become a “thing” pedestrians may be required to wear special reflective yellow badges. Maybe even put an electronic signal in there.

“badges/papers please”

Are computer cars more likely to hit back (or dark blue/green/etc.) cars?

With AI, black human forms are shadows, not people.
