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

Nikon is too

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.

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.

Or potentially it did, found the issue, and werent able to solve before the deadline
