Self-Driving Cars May Hit People With Darker Skin More Often

We already knew that some facial recognition systems struggle to accurately identify people with darker skin.

Now we know that many of the artificially intelligent systems designed to help autonomous cars navigate roads have the same problem — and the result could disproportionately endanger pedestrians with darker skin, a troubling sign of how AI can inadvertently reproduce prejudices from the wider world.

I just knew it: self-driving cars are racist.

That should fix it.

Yes, but everyone knows that black cars get stopped more frequently by the police...
