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
My car keeps screaming at me to keep my hands on the wheel, WHILE I'M FUCKING HOLDING IT.
Dude. I'm never buying a new car. That shit is insane.
Your car (Tesla?) has no sensors on the wheel that can detect your hands. That’s why you need to jerk the wheel every couple of seconds.
God no. It's a Peugeot, and light hands on black wheel. But the other comment says it has no sensors, except the ones that detect movement of the wheel. so apparently i just have to jerk the wheel randomly, like a BMW driver and it will stop yelling at me.
Exactly, other cars do have ‘hand-detection-sensors’ so you on my have to touch the wheel. I would assume current BMWs should have it.
You'd think they'd have learned from all the cameras that can't see black people....
This is racist as shit.
Can people see why "DEI" programs are genuinely good things yet?
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.
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.
