Hatathli works as a test driver for Waymo, the self-driving car project from Google, which tests vehicles in metro Phoenix.
Preventing accidents — most of which are caused by human error, not mechanical problems with cars — is one of the primary reasons Waymo is developing self-driving cars.
“The technology could prevent an accident when somebody might not make it home for dinner,” said Hatathli, 47. “It was something I never thought I would see in my lifetime.”
The vehicles will need no human input, and even will allow people with impaired vision or other physical challenges the freedom of mobility.
Happy Ada Lovelace Day! Today, in honor of Ada Lovelace, the world celebrates all of the accomplishments of women in science, art, design, technology, engineering, and math. Each year, Adafruit highlights a number of women who are pioneering their fields and inspiring women of all ages to make their voices heard. Today we will be sharing the stories of women that we think are modern day “Adas” alongside historical women that have made impacts in science and math.
