New research shows driverless car software is significantly more accurate with adults and light skinned people than children and dark-skinned people.

    Ok, but this isn’t just about Elon and Tesla?

    The study examined eight AI-powered pedestrian detection systems used for autonomous driving research.

    They tested multiple systems to see this problem.

      The authors made an assumption that ad companies are using the same models as the open source project they tested this with. That’s complete nonsense and not near reality at all due to the enormous difference in data used (source, I’m working with this tech).

      Unless you test with the exact same models as are used in the cars this really proves nothing and really shows that the authors own misunderstanding and bias (eg lidar vs camera discussions, or overall size of children vs adults).
