It won't be long till they won't just be detecting people, by identifying specifically which people they are. Think of the data! All those cars logging time/location of all those people. (which, of course, will only be used for good and the occasional targeted ad)
Conclusion - we call on lawmakers to make this technology illegal. We prefer more people die at equal rates more than we prefer less people to die at unequal rates.
I am not sure I agree with the ethics that underlies this way of seeing the world.
> While the study did not use the exact software companies like Tesla use to power self-driving cars because they are confidential, the software systems used for the study are based on the same open-source AI those companies use, according to Zhang. I was under the impression that commercial self-driving software was deeply proprietary and confidential, and there is no way to know that this study will generalize if r…

The BI article is definitely outrage for clicks. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual journal article was more measured in its conclusions and this is just typical bad science reporting.

It should be illegal, the current systems will never deliver without additional object detection methods (radar, lidar, etc). Get this shit recalled and back to the drawing board.

The point of the article, to me, is computer vision will never be enough. These are machines and need to be augmented with radar and other object detection methods.
