This is what happens when a company has no diversity. Most companies dogfood their own production. Reminds me of 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…
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.
Toyota is literally Japanese
Nikon is too
Sorry asians. You know what you have to do.
Can people see why “DEI” programs are genuinely good things yet?
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.
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…
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.
Classic case of OWPITTS (only white people in the training set).
I am guessing the car wasn’t made by Subaru or Nissan and is from Ford, GMC, Tesla, BMW, or Mercedes.
My Subaru has a driver attention feature that’s constantly going off if I sit up straight because I’m too tall 🫠
“please sit back down!”
Please don’t drive while standing?
My car keeps screaming at me to keep my hands on the wheel, WHILE I’M FUCKING HOLDING IT.
My car’s lane assist deactivates if the road is too straight because I haven’t moved the steering wheel in too long. The only way to get it back is to swerve a bit.
My FIL shared that the lane assist tried to swerve into oncoming traffic shortly after they bought their new car with all the assist bells and whistles. On the other hand my MIL shouldn’t be driving and genuinely had the drowsy assist force her to be a bit safer. I’m seriously waiting for the day she finally loses her license either for drunk driving or just speeding/tailgating/illegally passing etc. excessively
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
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.
