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.

Yes, and cars that run on natural gas should be implemented in locales that have more Mexicans. It’s Trump’s world, we just live in it.

Great! That should stimulate sales...and give the insurance companies a headache.

Can you imagine the lawsuits to come if self-driving cars turn out to hit more blacks than whites?
This alone could shut down the technology before it becomes commercially viable.
To: ConservativeStatement
Now, if black peoples were programming the things, the cars would have to run over 10 white people a day before the AI program controlling the cars was considered perfect.
To: ConservativeStatement
A racist car! Just when things couldn’t get any more nuts we have this nonsense. I suppose if one of these self-driving cars hits a Black person both the car and the company could be charged with hate crimes.

Honestly, if I was a normal black American these days, I would constantly cringe at the Libs insulting, incessant pandering that treats me like an idiot child. Yeah, but throw in an (un)healthy does of victimhood and entitlement mentality, and anything goes.

Or you could hookup a net on the front and program it to scoop up the illegals and drive them to the border. Won’t need a wall then.

Illegals have driven blacks out of Compton. Compton was already 65% latino back in the 2010 census.

Simple, just reprogram the computer vision system to when it sees lighter colors, it increases speed and turns into them. That way there is no discrimination.

good point.
facial recognition software will eventually make every vehicle a potential hit man.

Easy solution: legislate that black people must wear red MAGA hats.
