We actively engage and discuss with local law enforcement how teledriven cars can be safely implemented into existing traffic. Furthermore, Vay is training teledrivers to correctly engage with law enforcement and first responders in case of an emergency or if one of our fleet cars is simply pulled over.
- Regulatory considerations and law enforcement
For all additions that are included in our Vay system we follow our safety by design and operational safety approach as described earlier. We ensure that our system is not only built and operated safely but also compliant with local laws and regulations. Vay is the first company in Germany to receive a special permit to remotely operate vehicles without safety drivers in the vehicle. We have worked closely with TÜV SÜD, an independent third-party assessor, for over four years. TÜV SÜD gave us a positive endorsement to teledrive cars on public roads (see Vay Press Release 21.12.2022 [4]/ TUV Press release [5]).
