Community Leaders Talk About Autonomous Driving and Mobility Equity

Dr. Charles Steele is president and CEO of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and Doris Crenshaw is Founder & CEO of The Southern Youth Leadership Development Institute.

Waymo welcomed SCLC as an educational thought partner of Let’s Talk Autonomous Driving last year, and these community leaders recently traveled to the Phoenix East Valley to ride with Waymo One. 

Discover why Dr. Steele and Ms. Crenshaw say they believe fully autonomous driving technology is a good first step toward expanding mobility options and improving safety for the communities they’ve worked with their entire lives. 

“In order to build a house, you have to start on the ground floor; you can't start at the roof. I want to be at the base, the foundation, and that's what this presents. I welcome this opportunity.” - Dr. Steele, President & CEO, SCLC
