Vay is launching its teledriving car service, an Uber-like service where your car is driven by someone in a remote location.

You probably haven’t heard about teledriving before, but you might want to get used to it. With Vay, you can order a car to come pick you up. A Vay driver sitting in a building with a bunch of screens in front of them will remotely drive the car to you. To spectators, this will look like a self-driving car coming to pick you up. But a human is fully in control of the car — from a distance.
