Continental recently partnered with Huda M. Al Matroushi, the first female Emirati car mechanic, to spread awareness among women on key automotive safety topics, including how to deal with on-road emergencies and basic car maintenance.
The collaboration is part of Continental’s global commitment to empowering women, and to achieve its Vision Zero goal: Zero Fatalities, Zero Injuries, Zero Crashes. Al Matroushi, who has created history by undertaking her personal automotive journey, led a female-focused educational workshop that delved into her remarkable achievement in what has been a traditionally male-dominated industry.
Attendees also received a comprehensive introduction to essential car maintenance and the importance of tire safety. The workshop fostered a vibrant exchange of personal experiences and shed light on the evolving landscape of the industry. According to the “Zawya” website.
Commenting on her involvement with Continental, Al Matroushi said: “Inspiring women to take charge of their vehicles and ensuring their safety on the road is a mission close to my heart. Together with Continental, we are looking to break barriers and shatter stereotypes, ensuring that women can excel in any field they choose. Through knowledge and skill, we’re driving towards a future where every woman feels confident and empowered behind the wheel.”
Following the informative workshop, attendees had the chance to immerse themselves in a state-of-the-art AI Driving Hub. Created by AI Driving Metaverse Group, this cutting-edge simulator harnesses artificial intelligence to analyze the psycho-physiological characteristics of drivers, utilizing biometric and sensor data, a Digital Twin, a patented motion platform, and customizable road scenarios.
