I think you misunderstood table 6. All algorithms show significant differences in miss rate for children, two show significant differences based on gender, and four others based on skin color. The four that showed no statistically significant difference between light and dark skin had very high miss rates overall. Of the other four, two are much worse for dark skin, and two are slightly better. Those last two are also best at detecting children, but 28% miss rate is still a bit too high for my taste.

Yeah I missed the two statistically significant algorithms that favor darker skin since they have smaller percentage differences than the ones they didn't mark as statistically significant (but I guess that's because of how it relates to the overall miss rate)

RE: 28% miss rate, I think this is meaningless as it's looking at single images/data points, while self driving cars get a continuous stream of data
