Are these pedestrian detection models in use in any widely-deployed commercial self-driving car? Is there a limitation since these are images rather than videos? I would've expected these to be addressed in the "Threats to Validity." There is also no control comparison to humans, beyond the two annotators. Are these detectors significantly worse than humans?

There is telling whether these results are valid or applicable at all, but they purport that there are statistically significant unfairness based on gender and skin color. At best, this feels misleading.
