No it won’t be “interesting” regarding the skin color of human beings. That’s just stupid because there are LOTS OF BLACK COLORS IN THE WORLD. Black cars, tires, roads, antifa. Lol. Teslas have already killed a couple of people with their autonomous cars. They use cameras. Most developers are using LiDar. Self driving cars already exist but they can’t go very fast. The trick is to identify obstacles at least 200 meters out. That gives the vehicle time to stop even at 70 mph. The industry will struggle to solve the last few percent of safety. 95% isn’t good enough, 99% isn’t good enough. In the auto industry safety must approach 99.99%, especially for autonomous cars given the current stigma and potential for catastrophe. Full disclosure, I work for a lidar company that has raised more money for development than the next 4 closest competitors we have.

LIDAR + RADAR + Thermal Imaging + Ultrasound + Doppler + a dedicated processor might achieve 99.99%........................
