Hello! 👋
2026 has been all about scaling responsibly, strengthening our safety ecosystem, and showing up in the communities and conversations shaping the future of mobility – priorities that will continue to guide us for the rest of the year.
Here are some of the moments that have shaped our journey lately.
News
50,000+ customer trips in Las Vegas! 🎉
We recently celebrated a major milestone: 50,000 trips – and counting.
As we grow, our focus remains unchanged: delivering safe, reliable, and seamless experiences every time someone rides with us. To support this, we’ve expanded our fleet, increased service readiness, and continue to make ongoing improvements. So you can count on a Vay vehicle whenever you need it.
A huge thank you to our riders, Remote Drivers, and team members who make every trip possible.
Nexar and Vay bring Predictive AI to remote driving
We recently announced our partnership with Nexar, a leader in AI-powered mobility solutions and one of the largest distributed vision networks on U.S. roads. The partnership is aimed at integrating Nexar’s BADAS (Beyond ADAS) model, developed to proactively identify risk before incidents occur using AI models trained on real-world driving behavior, directly into our remotely driven fleet.
From the outset, we have designed our technology to meet the highest safety and security standards, with the objective of making remote driving safer than conventional driving. By embedding BADAS into our operations, we are taking a step forward in our safety approach by equipping Remote Drivers with advanced, augmented capabilities to better anticipate risk.
