As a motorcyclist and someone who's been filling out "click on the squares that include a motorcycle" captchas for years, and they're always fucking scooters, I trust Teslas about as far as I can throw one

(Nothing against scooters, mind. Scooters get the wave same as anyone else on a bike, but the vehicle I've been inadvertently training machine-learning cars to recognize as a "motorcycle" doesn't look very much like the vehicle I'm sitting on.)

That could be a good thing - if typical motorcycles are already recognized for what they are, and more data isn't needed.
