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

What he’s saying is these aren’t issues, they’re like saying a masculine voice can be heard from further away. Deeper voices just carry better
Part of it is bias/training data - we can fix that. But then you’re still left with the fact children are smaller and dark skinned people are darker - if you use the human visible range of light (which most cameras do), they’re always going to be harder to detect than larger more reflective people.
Our eyes and brains have an insane ability to focus and deal with varying levels of light, literally each cell adapts individually to each wavelength. We don’t have much issue picking out anyone until it becomes extremely dark or extremely far away - it’s not because the problem is easy, it’s because humans are incredible at it
Thank you.
You seem to be one of the people who understand this better.
And even humans are not incredible at it. It’s just inherently harder to identify the areas where there are less signal. I’d love to see a study, but see my edit and actually quantifying the equality we’re after.
Reality/physics/science/PDEs (whatever) work on “differences”. The less difference, the harder.
