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

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Nikon is too

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago

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.

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.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

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.

My car keeps screaming at me to keep my hands on the wheel, WHILE I'M FUCKING HOLDING IT.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Dude. I'm never buying a new car. That shit is insane.

What does the system do when you wear sunglasses?

[–] Dragster39@feddit.de 0 points 3 months ago

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.

Classic case of OWPITTS (only white people in the training set).

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I am guessing the car wasn't made by Subaru or Nissan and is from Ford, GMC, Tesla, BMW, or Mercedes.

[–] Cqrd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

My Subaru has a driver attention feature that's constantly going off if I sit up straight because I'm too tall 🫠

Classic case of OSPITTS (only small people in the training set).

"please sit back down!"

[–] Dragster39@feddit.de 0 points 3 months ago

Please don't drive while standing?

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.

[–] MeanPresentation80@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

WTF u mean « my professional opinion »
