Can people see why “DEI” programs are genuinely good things yet?
I mean I just liked them because you actually learn more about other perspectives…plus other cultures are pretty dope too…the white power idiots need to go out and realize white town is creepy and unpleasant.
Just in case anyone doesn’t know the acronym: DEI is Diversity, equity, and inclusion.

I can see small teams not having the personal to account for every possiblity, but this should have gotten picked up in testing and not made it to production. There was an automatic soap dispenser that couldn’t see dark skin, but that didn’t make it to full scale production.
Not mild, full blown racist
You’d think they’d have learned from all the cameras that can’t see black people…
This is racist as shit.
It’s actually probably not racist as shit.
I’m white with larger eyes. My car tells me the same thing. Constantly.
Yes I understand that facial recognition software is usually racist as shit, but this particular situation may just be shitty software rather than racist shitty software.
Yeah, it’s that guy and his Razor again.
Now, me getting a chuckle out of it, probably a little racist.
This is what happens when a company has no diversity. Most companies dogfood their own production. Reminds me of Google’s gorilla situation…
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.
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 is a japanese manufacturer. Likely they localize the feature and the localized version has the problem. Its completely possible they all contract the same software vendors in the US for certification reasons, resulting in similar problems.
My integra doesn’t have cameras but it monitors steering input and the road lines. I turned it off immediately but a family member of mine got frustrated because it would go off on him all the time in his Ford f150.
He often looks for deer while driving and can’t drive in a straight line because of it and that drifting to the center line/ edge of the road results in the system telling him to pull over and rest.
I’d assume unless he has a fancy German car he’s probably texting while driving or really bad at driving in a straight line. No mass market brand is going to bother installing cameras in the cab unless you are buying fairly expensive luxury car.
Edit: or it’s Toyota with their annoying systems. I wouldn’t know I avoid cars that scream at you for any little unsafe things it thinks you are doing. Toyota has eye tracking in their new cars and it beeps at you if you look away from the road for a fraction of a second from what I’ve heard.
how do people not realise how creepy it is for a car to have EYE-TRACKING
