emirates7 - Bayanat, a leading provider of AI-driven geospatial solutions, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Vay, a company specializing in automotive-grade teledriving (remote driving) technology. This partnership aims to advance teledriving technology by integrating Bayanat's geospatial data and AI capabilities with Vay's expertise.
Through this collaboration, Bayanat and Vay plan to expand teledriving solutions across the Middle East, Africa, and selected Asia Pacific regions. The partnership will also establish a joint R&D division focused on developing next-generation autonomous technologies to ensure safety and innovation.
Bayanat will utilize its operational infrastructure, AI, and data capabilities, while Vay will contribute its teledriving knowledge to push advancements in autonomous vehicles worldwide and meet the growing demand for innovative mobility solutions. Bayanat’s AI-powered platform, GIQ, which gathers data from space and ground assets to enhance decision-making and operational efficiency, will complement Vay's technology.
Vay’s system allows professionally trained teledrivers to remotely drive vehicles to users' locations. Once the car arrives, users manually drive it, and after finishing the trip, they can leave parking and further driving to a teledriver, providing a cost-effective and sustainable door-to-door mobility service.
The integration of Bayanat’s geospatial AI insights will improve the remote driving experience for Vay’s teledrivers. Vay is currently the only company in Europe operating on public roads without a safety driver and launched its commercial teledriving service in Las Vegas in January 2024.
Bayanat’s Managing Director, Hasan Al Hosani, highlighted that this collaboration reflects the company's commitment to advancing innovative industries like teledriving and modern mobility. He noted that combining Bayanat’s AI-enabled solutions with Vay’s teledriving expertise will offer scalable, efficient mobility solutions, promoting safer and more sustainable urban transportation.
Vay’s co-founder and CEO, Thomas von der Ohe, expressed excitement about working with Bayanat to enhance 'remote-operated, assisted autonomy' in autonomous vehicles, emphasizing the potential for teledriving to improve cost-efficiency for fleet operations and expand beyond current applications.
