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

    because proper driverless cares properly use LIDAR, which doesn’t give a shit about your skin color.

    And can easily see an object the size of a child out to many metres in front, and doesn’t give a shit if its a child or not. It’s an object in the path or object with a vector that will about to be in the path.

    So change 'Driverless Cars" to “Elon’s poor implementation of a Driverless Car”

    Or better yet…

    “Camera only AI-powered pedestrian detection systems” are Worse at Spotting Kids 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.
