Prince Faisal Bin Abdullah, a member of the ruling family and a former Saudi education minister, said in an interview with a privately-owned TV channel this week that he had "no doubt" that women will drive.

"Let me tell you about our leadership's view on women," he said. "Never mind driving a car, which is coming no doubt... I want her to drive society."

Prince Faisal's interview is the latest sign that Saudi Arabia is preparing to lift the ban, which is based on an interpretation of religious edicts.

Bin Salman so far has taken a more cautious approach to the question of women driving.
"Society is still not convinced of women driving and believes it has very negative consequences if women were allowed to drive," he said in April 2016.
