Self-driving cars could be more likely to hit and kill black people due to flaws in the software used to detect objects, researchers have warned. 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.

The silver lining is that virtually all armed robbers and other thugs, such as antifa and BLM, wear black hooded sweatshirts and pants.
LOL! It could be called the 2020 Wallenback model!
>Black People walk around naked?
Answer of the day !!!
“...gas tanks...?”
You can be assured that if the state or feds get into it, especially the states, they won’t be packing petrol, it will be batteries.
And there will be less cars on the road. This study determined that self-driving cars are much safer than cars driven by people with ROSPA research showing 95% of accidents involve human error, and in 76% of cases, a human is solely to blame. So this isn’t about color or computer errors, it’s about trying to green us up by forcing us into public transportation like they’ve been doing for about a quarter of a century even though it is not financial possible or good for the petrol producing countries when all they have is the gas, (Or dope), to sell like the middle east, Mexico, or Venezuela.

Good point. Austin government is pushing hard the idea of driving a car is bad and one person to a car is evil. They are pushing hard the public transportation meme. Except one thing, they haven’t the infrastructure set up for it.
Yeah I know dude LOl, we filmed a couple of production movies there. The Compton Mall is 80% latino BTW and I know, I was inside a few times for location shoots.
I drove through an area, long ago, on my way to work. I swear there were people TRYING to get hit by a car. There were always a few that just wandered on our into traffic.
I learned to watch people up on the curb. I was driving an SUV most of the time, too.
[The deep neural networks that are often used in these applications to classify objects are only as good as theyve been trained to be.]
Just wait until they become self-aware at 2:14 a.m.....
Must be a different year, though.
Computers are racist. Software is racist. Racists are racists. White people are evil. Black people cant be racists.
“...film accused of being racist because it didnt have the dynamic range to process darker skin tones....”
Sigh... what a world...
Redshawk,
The whole green thing is impossible to set up. California found that out with the train and their other “save all” theories. They have the fifth largest economy in the world, not the states, the world as of mid last year, and couldn’t supply the funds for their socialist schemes.
And the other side is still that if we cut back on the purchasing of petroleum from many countries, it will start conflicts without food, water, and other shortages as those countries won’t have anything to buy them with. Additionally, as we are the largest importer and exporter of oil in the world, it is going to cost jobs and our economy will “tank” with theirs. So we’ll end up back in a series of civil wars when we actually caused them, not on our soil. These idiots do not learn from history.
