Introducing the Waymo Accessibility Network UK: Co-Designing the Future of Autonomous Mobility

Waymo launched the Waymo Accessibility Network UK, a forum for British disability advocates and charities to engage in two-way dialogue shaping how its autonomous technology is deployed on UK streets. The network's 10 inaugural partners include RNIB, Re-Engage, AgeUK, Transport for All, Thomas Pocklington Trust, Guide Dogs UK, Sense, Motability Foundation, National Centre for Accessible Transport and Scope, and members will support user research and product testing. Waymo also detailed existing accessibility features such as sound alerts, adaptive navigation, lidar dome visual identifiers, audio descriptions and guide dog accommodation.
