    Humans have the same problem, so it’s not surprising.

      Yeah, this is a dumb article. There is something to be said about biased training data, but my guess is that it’s just harder to see people who are smaller and who have darker skin. It has nothing to do with training data and just has the same issues our eyes do. There is something to be said about Tesla using only regular cameras instead of Lidar, which I don’t think would have any difference based on skin tone, but smaller things will always be harder to see.
