Vay's remote-controlled cars launch in Germany, aiming to reduce private car ownership

theguardian.com

Germany will permit remote-controlled rental cars starting December, a move by Vay to make private car ownership obsolete. Vay's system allows users to summon an electric car via an app, have it delivered by a remote driver, use it, and then leave it for the remote driver to handle parking. This legislation signifies Germany's openness to experimenting with remote-driving technology, despite ongoing cost and safety concerns, as Vay aims for more sustainable cities.
