Vay’s Remote Driving Services
Through the Vay app, users can request that an electric vehicle be remotely delivered to their location. After the car arrives, the user takes over and drives it like a regular car. At the end of the trip, the user ends the rental in the app, exits the car, and a remote driver takes over, eliminating the time-consuming search for parking. Vay’s per-minute rental service costs half as much as current ride-sharing options, is a more economical alternative to autonomous driving, and requires no costly membership fees.
Vay’s Remote Driving Technology
Professionally trained remote drivers sit at a remote driving station with a steering wheel, pedals, and other vehicle controls developed in accordance with automotive industry standards. The service operates night and day, with Vay operating in Las Vegas from 6:30 am to 10 pm. Camera sensors reproduce the car’s surroundings and transmit them to the screens of the remote driving station. Road traffic sounds, such as emergency vehicles and other augmented warning signals, are transmitted to the remote driver’s headphones via microphones.
