The Ruling on Women Driving Cars

Question
What is the ruling on women driving cars? And why was it considered one of the major sins in Saudi Arabia, and now the ruling has changed?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: Her driving is permissible, and the reason for the confusion in their fatwas is their lack of reliance on the established jurisprudential schools, so it is not based on a scientific foundation, and God knows best.
