Penalty for any infraction is probably death over there.

...legal as long as they are chauffeuring a man around.

IMO this is a public relations move only. They're about to take 5% of Saudi Aramco public and sell shares to outside investors. They know some people would take heat for investing in Aramco so KSA is trying to soften the blow and make it seem like they're taking steps forward.

They want to throw outsiders a bone so they back off for a while

I was thinking about this earlier, I got a notice on my smart phone alerting me to the fact that women are now "allowed" to drive. What an amazing difference in freedom/technology in the year 2017. Fuking ignorant savages.

You've obviously never been in the car with my wife driving

Honestly this could cause problems there. Not because of women but because their roads are already severely congested, and gas is like $.80 a gallon with the subsidies so everyone drives everywhere.

I was in Riyadh a few years ago and going anytwhere on the roads was a nightmare

Saudi Arabia "allows" women . . .

They still won't take no lip.

Don't care ... As long as it does NOT interfere with their sandwich making.
