Great to see Soroptimist International Great Britain and Ireland (SIGBI) President Ruth Healey’s practical and sensible approach to driverless taxis featured in today’s Daily Express. As driverless taxis begin to move from concept to reality, one thing must be non-negotiable: women’s safety.
Technology alone doesn’t guarantee trust. A gender impact assessment can help ensure that the introduction of autonomous taxis is viewed through a lens that prioritises women’s safety, comfort, and confidence — from design to deployment.
Join #Soroptimists to ensure technological leaps like this aren’t just smart, they are safe, inclusive, and empowering for everyone.
