MIT Model Predicts Who Will Run Red Lights

  • >>โ€œEven though your light might be green, it may recommend you not go because there are people behaving badly that you may not be aware of,โ€ said Jonathan How, an aeronautics and astronautics professor who co-created the algorithm."

    There is the possibility that this could result in more red-light running instances, if runners begin to presume there is this collision warning system. Whereas before they were "taking chances", now it'd become less "chancy".

  • I wish it would explain how the accuracy numbers work. I could say 'no' to every car and get pretty good naive accuracy, so that's clearly not the method they're using to give the old models scores of only 15-20%.
