    What if it’s a crosswalk with a bunch of people crossing at the same time? Which person would it make eye contact with? Would it rapidly change eye contact with a bunch of people?

      If you’re watching a crosswalk with a bunch of people crossing at the same time, who do you look at, hmm?

        I just use a value ranking system and rapidly sort variables until I reach the highest possible value.

        Women>Men

        Pop colors > blending (red is greater than brown, etc.)

        Interesting features > bland (So a dude with a scar registers higher than a dude without)

        Anomalies > expecteds (a top hat is more interesting than a ball cap)

        There’s probably some other minor variations that account for my choices. Thinking about it, the preference for women may be due to them having more eye-catching variables than men in most cases, especially with regards to color and accessories.

          Forgot about this comment and came back to a paragraph long comment where the line “Women>Men” popped out to me. My first thought was “Oh no, what political thing did I comment on this time?”

          Anyways, thanks for the tip. Let’s make the automated vehicles prioritize staring at women and anyone who dares to stand out.

        I imagine people’s eyes flick around taking in everything. Which is normal for a human, super weird for anything mechanical.

      It uses the same priorities as when it’s deciding who to save and who to run down in an unavoidable collision. As to how it determines that, what do you think all those trolley problem memes were for?
