The irony of a strike killing it is honestly pretty amusing in hindsight, but that doesn’t give us the six seasons and a movie it deserved.

This is what happens when a company has no diversity. Most companies dogfood their own production. Reminds me of 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.

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…

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.

Your claim is a Japanese company never tested on Asian people? Would you place a bet on those odds?

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.

The fun part is, company will get a higher premium after they go through data from that car and it’s “sleepy” driver.

My wife’s Asian and only been driving 3-years. LMFAO, she would be a shaking crying mess if the car kept yelling at her to pay attention.
