Vay develops automotive-grade technology for remote driving to enable new types of mobility services. Through the Vay app, users can request an electric vehicle to be remotely delivered to their location. After the car has arrived, the user takes over and drives it like a regular car. At the end of the trip, the user exits the car, and a Remote Driver takes over, eliminating the time-consuming search for parking. This creates the most affordable door-to-door mobility service at half the price of ride-hailing services. Since its launch, users have taken thousands of rides and can hail a Vay car at a wide variety of locations throughout Las Vegas, including the busiest hotels on the Strip. Vay has recently expanded its offering to include B2B services, enabling remote driving for private cars, trucks, vans, and autonomous vehicles, among others.

Founded in 2018 by Thomas von der Ohe, Fabrizio Scelsi, and Bogdan Djukic, the team of over 200 people combines the best of two worlds – software from Silicon Valley and automotive engineering from Europe. Vay has raised over $200 million in funding from global investors, including Kinnevik, Coatue, Atomico, and General Catalyst, as well as business angels such as F1 World Champion and entrepreneur Nico Rosberg and former Alphabet CFO Patrick Pichette.
