Because everyone deserves access to information, even on the road.
Many people enjoy listening to radio updates while driving:
🎶 Music | 🗞 News | ☀️ Weather | 🚦 Traffic
But what about Deaf and hard-of-hearing people?
💡 Imagine This:
🎙️ Live radio audio is transcribed in real time into text on the dashboard screen.
🤟 That text is translated into British Sign Language (BSL) using either AI signers or human interpreters.
🧏♀️ Deaf drivers and passengers can independently access real-time content just like hearing people.
This isn’t just a tech upgrade, it’s a step toward:
✅ Equal access
✅ BSL inclusion
✅ Safer, smarter, more inclusive mobility
Let’s build the cars of the future with accessibility in mind, not as an afterthought.
