WEBVTT 1 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.

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.
