Vay B2B Remote Driving Platform
Vay
The real unlock is that Vay can sell the same remote driving stack many times without buying and operating every car itself. In the consumer business, each new trip depends on owning or leasing vehicles, retrofitting them, paying teledrivers, and managing charging and retrieval. In the B2B model, partners bring the fleet, and Vay sells the control stations, connectivity stack, and operating software that lets those partners run remote delivery, retrieval, parking, or depot moves on their own vehicles.

This shifts Vay from a local operations model to a platform model. A car-share operator, rental fleet, truck fleet, or OEM can plug Vay into existing vehicles, which means Vay can grow revenue faster than it grows physical assets or field operations.

The margin logic is simple. Consumer trips carry vehicle costs, retrofitting, cellular data, remote driving stations, and teledriver wages. A licensing deal keeps the software and control layer revenue while pushing much of the fleet ownership and on road operations cost to the customer.

The closest strategic analogue is autonomy infrastructure software, not robotaxi service. Applied Intuition sells software used by vehicle makers and autonomy teams across programs, while Waymo mostly monetizes through rides on its own fleet. Vay's B2B push moves it closer to the software side of that spectrum.
Over time, the highest value version of Vay is likely the one embedded inside other fleets, not just the one running its own cars in a few cities. As OEMs, trucking operators, and car-share companies adopt remote driving for narrow but frequent tasks, Vay can become the operating layer for human assisted vehicle movement before full autonomy is widely practical.
