#59 Thomas Von Der Ohe, CEO & Co-Founder, Vay
Description
Thomas Von Der Ohe, co-founder and CEO of Vay, joins us from Las Vegas to share the story behind pioneering driverless carsharing. After years in Silicon Valley, Thomas returned to Europe with a bold vision: combining remote driving with autonomous technology to create a scalable and efficient mobility solution.
He unpacks why the robo-taxi industry struggled to meet early expectations and how Vay is taking a different approach—one that keeps humans in the loop while leveraging autonomy. He discusses the advantages of launching in the U.S., where state-by-state regulations allow for faster scalability, and how Vay’s camera-based remote driving system is designed to be both cost-effective and adaptable across various vehicle types.
Tune in for a deep dive into the future of mobility and the game-changing potential of remote driving!
