    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…

        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.
