This happens even on newer Toyotas, so it's not exactly company-specific. The issue is the biased training data used for the face recognition system.

This seems more like an excuse. All these companies aren't using the same training data.

They literally never tested this on an asian person before selling in the vehicle...

Toyota is a japanese manufacturer. Likely they localize the feature and the localized version has the problem. Its completely possible they all contract the same software vendors in the US for certification reasons, resulting in similar problems.

This makes more sense

Your claim is a Japanese company never tested on Asian people? Would you place a bet on those odds?

Toyota in the US is more American than most American car companies. The tech being different isn't that big of a stretch.
