Flunked? Georgia Tech Paper Tries To Link Self Driving Vehicles With Racism

Recently, a series of disturbing headlines about a study out of Georgia Tech have suggested a shocking possibility: self-driving vehicles, specifically the machine-learning they use for perception, pose a risk to people of color. The idea of racist self-driving cars is such an intoxicating cocktail of hot-button issues that it seems like an episode of Black Mirror come to life. But, as so often seems to be the case with such impossibly provocative stories, even a cursory investigation suggests that these headlines were designed more to generate traffic than cast light on a meaningful issue.

The people who cry racism most are the most racist themselves. The Socialist-Left are an extremely racist cabal as they deem one race glorious and another damned. We must remember that the KKK and the Democrat Party have always gone hand in hand.

Nonsense

THe KKK message of white supremacy and anti-civil rights remains a message well beyond any mainstream political party and is abhorrent to virtually all people.

If one were to look at just voting rights today - it is the Democrats who remain steadfastly opposed to laws that even appear to reduce minority voting - that have been put into place by their opposition in several southern states.

THe fact is- even attempting to categorize the Left as socialist is well off the mark as well. We may as well call the Far Right - anarchists then. But neither is true. ANd stoking discontent by stating what you claim - which is not true - is reprehensible in every way.
