    In order to make the software detect the same you have to make it detect white adult less.

    Comparing the performance between races says nothing about how safe a driverless car is. I am sure that the chances of a human hitting a dark skinned person dwarfs the chances of a driverless car. Trying to convince people driverless cars are racist only delays development, adoption and lawmaking which means more flawed meatbags behind the wheel which means more car accident deaths.
