Data Scientist

Ever wanted to tell people, “Yeah, I helped launch the future of transportation”? Well, here’s your shot. At Vay, we’re flipping the script on mobility with Remote driving—delivering cars to customers with zero hassle and zero driver inside, offering a unique by the minute car rental service. We’re already live in Las Vegas, and trust us, we’re just getting started.

Our journey so far since our launch in 2018:

Revolutionary remote driving tech- We built the world’s first commercial remote driving product.

Breaking boundaries across continents- First to roll out vehicles in both Europe and the USA on public roads without a human being inside & one of only two companies in the States operating a commercial driverless service.

Vegas fleet on the rise- Our vehicle fleet is scaling fast, from 20 to 100 cars in Las Vegas. We’re just getting started!
