While the announcement that women will finally be able to drive in Saudi Arabia is great news for the country's human rights, there's a high probability they'll still need the approval of their fathers, husbands or sometimes even brothers or sons to buy a new car.

Rebecca Lindland, an analyst for Cox Automotive in the U.S., told The Associated Press:
“If you don’t have credit, if you don’t have money, your male guardian will be the one to decide whether you buy a car or not."

The latter and Nissan are also in discussion to open local plants.
