00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:13.199
Ren: Accessibility and inclusion is all
about equality. It means ensuring equal
2
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:18.239
access regardless of an individual's
ability in both physical and digital worlds.
3
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:22.440
Chris: It's really about giving people
equal access to all the information
4
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:27.719
Tim: Accessibility is broadly defined as
usability by people with disabilities,
5
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:32.880
Can someone with a disability use the system
the same way as someone without a disability?
6
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:38.079
Ren: Not everybody has the same abilities, but
we should all be able to have the same opportunities.
7
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:41.719
Not every disability prevents
individuals from driving,
8
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:45.359
color blindness is a good example.
And everyone should be able to
9
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:49.439
research vehicles, access tools, get
helpful market insights.
10
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:53.520
Courtney: We looked at the Carmax.com
homepage and took a look and saw really
11
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:57.079
from a person with low sight what their
experience was when they were going
12
00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.600
start to finish, and are now starting to
identify opportunities where we can
13
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.438
improve what we're doing to make sure that
that experience is better are across the board,
14
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:09.599
Chris: We're trying to be the best that we can
be for our own customers, our own associates,
15
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:14.879
when it comes to having a great experience
online trying to achieve a goal.
16
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:18.200
Ren: Our mission for this improvement never ends.
17
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.760
We're constantly adding new functionality.
18
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:26.159
Chris: We're learning how to be better each
and every day. And that's all you can do.
19
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:30.719
Courtney: Culture is such an important piece of
the CarMax world and so is making sure that
20
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:35.079
all of our associates and our partners
and our products and our team members,
21
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:38.799
as well as our customers, are all in the
same boat for how we're treating the
22
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:41.000
experience that people will have from
start to finish.
23
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:45.200
Tim: So there was a study by the CDC
recently that found about 61 million
24
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:50.040
adults in the United States live with a
disability. That's about 26% of the adult population.
25
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:54.519
We just find it delightful when companies
like CarMax and Edmunds,
26
00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:59.359
really leading companies, recognize the
scope of this audience and seek to
27
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:04.040
empower them with user friendly,
compelling technology that ultimately
28
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:05.599
works in an accessible fashion.
29
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.120
Courtney: We're building things to make
people's lives better.
