Disability advocates help shape the future of transportation 

Yesterday, Waymo announced the launch of the Waymo Accessibility Network to formalize and scale its longstanding collaboration with disability advocates. This will expand inclusion of crucial voices and valuable perspectives as the autonomous driving technology company works to shape the future of transportation. 

Through the network, Waymo will partner directly with advocacy organizations that support people of all ages living with physical, visual, cognitive and sensory disabilities. 

"Involving the disability community from the ground floor in technological advancements is the key to being a true champion of inclusion for today’s leading innovators," said Vincenzo Piscopo, President & CEO, United Spinal Association. "The Waymo Accessibility Network will elevate the dialogue that Waymo has consistently maintained with our community, and sets an example for their peers in the AV space to follow." 

Waymo believes in the disability community's mantra "nothing about us without us" as it leverages technology to bring new transportation options to the marketplace.
