re: Racial bias: Self-driving cars may be likelier to hit black people

I don't understand these "moral dilemmas" self driving cars will have. Don't human drivers face the same moral driving dilemmas?

Are there a lot of people walking around naked out there?

All the cars are white. Makes sense.

Tf. Why is the system detecting race to begin with. Shouldnt it be able to detect a human being without identifying the race of the person.
This doesn't sound like a racial problem, but rather a big fricking system defect.

Or maybe a lamp post falls on the road and the car has to decide whether to crash itself and potentially kill its own occupants, or swerve into some people on the sidewalk.

There will be times when the algorithm will have to make decisions. By the time it is available to the public, the decision making will be infinitely quicker than any human brain.

They don't detect race. The problem is that some of the systems used don't detect darker colors as well.

That is my point. If the system needs to detect color in order to detect a human being, the system is defected. Back to the drawing board they go.

failure to detect dark-skinned pedestrians
I’m not a self driving car but I have this same issue at night. Dark skinned ppl shouldn’t wear dark clothing at night when walking down the street.

I wish they would hit white liberals, like the dumb bitch that wrote the article.

I promise you the companies developing self-driving tech are at the drawing board all day, every day. It's just that this is a very hard problem.
No single tech will work well in every situation. Visual cameras don't work well in the dark/snow/rain. LIDAR doesn't detect darker colors well. RADAR doesn't have very high resolution. Ultrasonic sensors don't have much range. Thermal cameras have to deal with environmental issues.
It takes a combination of techs just to be sufficient, but we're probably a long way off from perfection, which probably isn't even attainable. And each tech has its own costs and technical challenges, which obviously influence the direction of things.

I understand that. I wasnt flaming the company at all. Just consider me a pessimist when it comes to alot of this so called new technology stuff. I don't trust it. Especially self driving cars.

If you're like most people, including myself, you're not quite ready to trust your own car to drive itself, but you wish most of the idiots on the road with you had self driving cars.

Just like humans. Like those dumb arse people who walk down a street at night while wearing dark clothing.
Dumbass must want to be a speedbump.
