“I just used Vay for the first time and oh my GOD I’m mind blown! [...]” – Travis Vay’s teledriving technology aims to make cities safer, more sustainable and more livable. In January 2024, we launched our commercial B2C service in Las Vegas. Users order an electric vehicle via the Vay app and the teledriver brings the car to the user – remotely driven from the teledrive center. With our technology we’re paving the way for sustainable and driverless mobility services – and thereby solve real-world transportation needs for our users in Las Vegas today. It’s been incredible to see our vision come to life. As we expand our technology and services, we’re excited to continue driving innovation that will transform urban mobility across cities around the world. #Teledriving #FutureofMobility #Vay
