Thomas von der Ohe
Co-founder & CEO of Vay | Pioneering autonomous vehicle technology across continents

About
Thomas von der Ohe is redefining urban mobility through autonomous vehicle innovation as Co-founder & CEO of Vay. He has successfully launched and operated a driverless, short-term car rental service in Las Vegas for nearly two years, proving that autonomous technology can work in real-world commercial applications.
His company represents a practical alternative to traditional ride-hailing services and private car ownership. Von der Ohe's approach combines cutting-edge autonomous technology with user-focused design, creating a platform that addresses actual transportation needs rather than theoretical possibilities.
His work at Vay demonstrates how autonomous vehicles can be deployed commercially today, not just as future concepts.
