This week, the French car manufacturer Peugeot announced a partnership with the German company Vay which will help in testing the “teledriving”, which will be implemented in some models of the brand.
The information was obtained from CNBC.
Peugeot will launch driverless cars:
With the agreement, the two companies will have the opportunity to test and evaluate the technology teledriving from the Vay in delivery vans and smaller logistics vehicles provided by Peugeot.
The focus is to sell these vehicles to business-to-business (B2B) customers.
The objective of these tests is to simulate the normal route of a delivery vehicle from an order fulfillment center to homes or establishments, using remotely controlled cars.

Later this year, the Vay teledriving technology will be tested for the first time in vehicles Peugeot. The company intends to incorporate the technology into electric vans and E-3008 electric SUVs.

- A teledriving allows human operators to drive cars remotely through special live view of the vehicle's surrounding environment.
Self-driving cars, on the other hand, can drive alones without an individual being needed to control them. - Before being authorized to operate one of the company's teledriving stations, Vay, those responsible for remote operations undergo several weeks of specific training and receive specifications.
A Vay claims its technology is ideal for logistics hubs and last-mile deliveries as it works well for short-distance journeys.
After merchandise has passed through distribution and delivery centers, the last mile of an order's journey to your door is called last-mile delivery.
