you two trump suckers are too stupid to understand english correctly. the term racist roads does not mean the roads are racist, it means than when a lot of highways were built, many decades ago, blacks had no real economic or political power. so if a highway was needed and it was between dividing a middle class white area or a black area, where do you think they were built, in the white area? dumbfuck assclowns.
and this article about racist self driving cars has a stupid fuck title, if you read what it says you understand if you can read.
it says due to the way the car "decides" if a pedestrian is about to be hit, a darker skin person may be more likely to be hit. that is not racist, it has to do with dark objects being harder to identify than lighter objects, by a human's eye or the computer's. dumbass.
According to a new study from the Georgia Institute of Technology, people with darker skin may be more likely to get hit by a self-driving car than those with lighter skin tones. How is this possible? Well, the answer begins with a question the study's authors wanted to find out: How well do the latest object-detection systems used in self-driving cars detect people of different ethnicities?
To get an answer, the researchers examined a large database of pedestrian images and then divided them up according to what's called the Fitzpatrick scale, which is a system for classifying skin tones. The team then analyzed how often these systems correctly detected the presence of people of varying skin tones. In other words, a light-skinned group versus a dark-skinned group.
The results speak for themselves.
The overall detection rate was an average of five percentage points less accurate for the dark-skinned group. What's more, this difference remained even when researchers applied controls for variables like time of day and even obstructed views of those pedestrians.
