There has to be a way to calibrate it, no? Something like this can’t be designed without setting a baseline, and surely there’s a ton of variance.
For the manufacturer sure, the driver can’t do jack until there is a system update or recall.
What does the system do when you wear sunglasses?
Maybe we could add mandatory accessoires.
You have to wear blood pressure, respiratory and heart rate sensors while driving.
Additionaly these could be made available to insurance companies for a small reduction in fees from 115% to 105%, so it feels cheaper while they tell you it’s for your own benefit.
Automatically voids the warranty
Shh…you’re giving them ideas.
i’ld try to stick some googly eyes on a headband to wear when driving. if it does not help, its at least good for a selfie.
Reminds me of this.
I was expecting this YouTube classic
Can people see why “DEI” programs are genuinely good things yet?
I mean I just liked them because you actually learn more about other perspectives…plus other cultures are pretty dope too…the white power idiots need to go out and realize white town is creepy and unpleasant.
white town is creepy and unpleasant
And simultaneously incredibly boring! There’s only so much alcohol and casseroles I can be entertained by…
Just in case anyone doesn’t know the acronym: DEI is Diversity, equity, and inclusion.

I can see small teams not having the personal to account for every possiblity, but this should have gotten picked up in testing and not made it to production. There was an automatic soap dispenser that couldn’t see dark skin, but that didn’t make it to full scale production.
Sorry asians. You know what you have to do.
There’s an episode of American Auto where they make a self-driving car that can’t see black people. It’s a good show. Check it out.
I’m not really in the mood for a documentary
Sounds like a similar episode of Better Off Ted. Also a great show that only got 2 seasons.
It’s all fun and games until the octochicken comes down from its web.
One of my faves. I still think of the line from that episode “but we don’t have the parking for that” whenever I walk past a car desert
God I loved that show, especially that episode. If they’d made it a few years later, it most certainly would’ve been picked up by one of the streaming services for more seasons.
Asian women are more beautiful. That’s my professional opinion. I’m sure I’d think the same about the men if I was into that.
WTF u mean « my professional opinion »
I was paid for that opinion.
You’d think they’d have learned from all the cameras that can’t see black people…
This is racist as shit.
It’s actually probably not racist as shit.
I’m white with larger eyes. My car tells me the same thing. Constantly.
Yes I understand that facial recognition software is usually racist as shit, but this particular situation may just be shitty software rather than racist shitty software.
Dude, racism is shitty processing in humans, you don’t think computers can achieve shitty processing?
Yeah, it’s that guy and his Razor again.
Now, me getting a chuckle out of it, probably a little racist.

Lol just like the old Xbox Kinect failing miserably at seeing dark skinned black people correctly or at all
There was also a automatic soap dispenser that couldn’t see dark skin.
Removing Google tracker for ya (Piped)
”I am not a bot, and this action was performed manually”
Yeah I’m always a little lazy about that because I’m on Android anyways
My white guy sucks
I love this show, and this episode.
The irony of a strike killing it is honestly pretty amusing in hindsight, but that doesn’t give us the six seasons and a movie it deserved.
This is what happens when a company has no diversity. Most companies dogfood their own production. Reminds me of Google’s gorilla situation…
Toyota is literally Japanese
That’s what I was thinking. How did this slip by? If I recall correctly, Toyota is better than average when it comes to quality control. This is Boeing-level laziness/incompetence.
Probably they knew of the issue, but didnt figure a solution before the deadline.
Nikon is too
Google’s gorilla situation?
This happens even on newer Toyotas, so it’s not exactly company-specific. The issue is the biased training data used for the face recognition system.
This seems more like an excuse. All these companies aren’t using the same training data.
They literally never tested this on an asian person before selling in the vehicle…
Toyota is a japanese manufacturer. Likely they localize the feature and the localized version has the problem. Its completely possible they all contract the same software vendors in the US for certification reasons, resulting in similar problems.
This makes more sense
Your claim is a Japanese company never tested on Asian people? Would you place a bet on those odds?
Toyota in the US is more American than most American car companies. The tech being different isn’t that big of a stretch.
Or potentially it did, found the issue, and werent able to solve before the deadline
I’m sure it is possible to disable this feature?
company vehicle. might not be allowed to for insurance reasons. 🤷♂️
The fun part is, company will get a higher premium after they go through data from that car and it’s “sleepy” driver.
That sounds like bullshit
I agree, but it’s happening.
Yes, telemetry-linked insurance is bullshit.
Sue the company for racism and creating a hostile work environment.
I’m not sure how serious I am.
My wife’s Asian and only been driving 3-years. LMFAO, she would be a shaking crying mess if the car kept yelling at her to pay attention.
Car manufacturer tried to make a safer and more attentive driver through monitor and warning systems, accidentally causes crippling anxiety instead.
There’s a Better Off Ted episode that hilariously addressed this issue.
That show should have more seasons.
