“The TÜV SÜD endorsement is the result of more than a year of testing the Vay system. Our experts reviewed the risk analyses and safety concepts at Vay […]. As a result, the functional safety and cybersecurity requirements relevant to this use case have been sufficiently met“, says Christian Gnandt, Global Head of Automated Driving at TÜV SÜD.

Based on that assessment Vay was the first company in Europe to operate and test remotely operated vehicles on public roads in February 2023. Today, we remotely drive vehicles in Hamburg with no driver present in the car. Our fleet in Berlin is equipped with safety drivers to oversee the teledriver who operates the car. In November 2023 we started our remote driving operations without safety driver in Las Vegas, Nevada.
