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.

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 Im an old white guy) make me racist, I really like all this stuff. Good lord tell me pizza is ok.
Maybe the article for this thread, was started by people, with exactly this in mind.
That right there is funny.
They are both real.
Here are the original videos:
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.
That’s incredible! I’ll have to save those! LOL
Thanks!
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.
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).
ya it couldnt possibly be because blacks are known for not following ped traffic laws... J walking etc...
Yep. They will be given black cars.
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.

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.

Don’t know. But Seinfeld once ate a black and white cookie and got real sick. Look to the cookie. ....
Now this is funny
Being a victim is part of their makeup.
