Waypoint - The official Waymo blog: Launching the Waymo Accessibility Network
Since our founding, Waymo has partnered with and listened to advocates for people with disabilities. As we continually improve our technology, we will strive to put individual passengers – with their diverse needs and experiences – at the center of our product to co-create the Waymo One ride-hailing service together. Today, we're launching the Waymo Accessibility Network to formalize and scale our longstanding collaboration with disability advocates. This will expand inclusion of their crucial voices and valuable perspectives as we work together to shape the future of transportation. The Waymo Accessibility Network brings together disability advocates who share in the mission of improving access, mobility and safety in our communities.
Victory for disability advocates: Supreme Court won't hear Domino's Pizza accessibility case
If you live in Houston, your next Domino's pizza delivery may be by an unmanned vehicle. The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to not hear Domino's petition on whether its website is accessible to the disabled is considered a loss for the pizza giant and a win for disability advocates. The case was one of a long list of those the Supreme Court announced it wouldn't hear, and as is usual the high court made no comment in declining to take the case. Monday was the Supreme Court's first day of arguments after its summer break. The order to not hear the case keeps in place a January ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled that Domino's and other retailers must make its online services accessible.
