    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?

            Toyota in the US is more American than most American car companies. The tech being different isn’t that big of a stretch.

        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.
