This is a problem with learning the appropriate context. In the case of a yellow traffic light, there should be a traffic light fixture and two other (unlit) lights. Without this context, it becomes apparent the yellow pixels in a circular shape (representation to the network) are not a traffic light at all. Tesla’s vision/ml systems are amazing. I would love to learn more about how unit testing for this type of erro…
Permanent yield signals are often only one flashing yellow light. Crosswalk signals are often only flashing yellow lights when active. Temporary construction barrier signals are often only yellow flashing lights. Fire station signals often have only red and yellow lights, no green. Even when all three lights are present, they may also be oriented horizontally, or in triangular shapes.
Which isn't to say there isn't more context to learn from, but just about the only true unifying trait among all these indicators that you should perhaps pay attention and slow down is a bit of yellow light. It need not even be circular: yellow arrows are far from uncommon, including "straight ahead" yellow arrows for intersections where turns are forbidden.
