A new Coca-Cola ad is making waves across social media.*
The ad, which shows a young female driver being taught how to drive by her father, is meant to be a celebration of Saudi Arabia's recent decision (http://mashable.com/2017/09/26/saudi-arabia-lifts-ban-on-women-driving/) to allow women to drive for the first time.
SEE ALSO: People are outraged that Sophia the robot has more rights than most women in Saudi Arabia (http://mashable.com/2017/10/27/saudi-arabia-womens-rights-sophia/)
According to Coca-Cola, the one-minute long ad titled "Change has a taste," is meant to enable the "economic empowerment of women."
Some took to social media in celebration of the ad's message.
