Picture this: You finish up an e-bike ride in Santa Monica or Washington, DC, and it’s time to park. As you open the Veo app and take your end-of-ride photo, the app provides real-time feedback, ensuring that you position your vehicle in a way that leaves the sidewalk clear and accessible.
With our new partnership with Captur, we’re making this vision a reality. In November, Veo will start rolling out Captur’s real-time, AI-powered parking assistant in 50+ U.S. markets. This is a major step in our commitment to being good neighbors and supporting accessible streets for everyone.
By integrating Captur’s parking assistant directly into the Veo app, we’re tackling one of micromobility’s biggest challenges: proper parking. Now, riders simply snap a photo at the end of their trip, and Captur’s AI instantly checks compliance with local regulations before allowing them to complete the ride. This tool has reduced mis-parking by over 80% in Europe, and we’re excited to bring similar success to our cities across the U.S.
📍 Veo will roll out Captur in our 50+ U.S. markets. This November, Veo will activate Captur in…
• Washington, DC
• Queens and the Bronx, NY
• College Park, MD & the University of Maryland
• West Lafayette, IN & Purdue University
• Veo’s home base of Santa Monica, CA
“Veo has always been committed to working with our city partners to ensure responsible and orderly parking, and through our work with the disability community, we’ve seen firsthand that it is critical to keep sidewalks clear and accessible,” said Veo co-founder and CEO Candice Xie. “Captur’s ability to harness AI to deliver on this commitment in a scalable manner is a game changer. We hope that the rest of the industry will follow suit and adopt this technology, ensuring that micromobility continues to grow in a way that benefits all members of our communities.”
How Captur’s Technology Works
Captur uses state-of-the-art edge models and AI that can adapt to any local parking regulations or vehicle type. Users often find the experience “faster than taking a photo” with better performance than GPS alone, especially in dense cities with low signal.
An Efficiency Boost for Better Service
With Captur’s AI-powered parking assistant, we expect to save our field technicians hundreds of hours each year per market. This integration will mean less time spent auditing end-of-ride photos or retrieving mis-parked vehicles and more time dedicated to fleet management—keeping vehicles fully charged, in the right places, and ready for riders when they need them.
“For shared mobility to truly thrive, the industry must ensure that sidewalks remain clear and accessible for everyone,” said Charlotte Bax, founder and CEO of Captur. “On the operator side, that requires image-based compliance workflows. Previously, that was extremely complex and costly for operators to manage. With our partnership, Veo can now verify parking before ending the ride with no manual intervention. We’re thrilled to partner with Veo, whose commitment to inclusive urban mobility and accessibility makes them the ideal ally in rolling this technology out across the nation.”
Leveraging Data to Improve City Transportation Networks
Beyond boosting compliance, Captur’s AI identifies where riders face parking challenges, generating data that cities and operators can use to improve infrastructure. This is important because solving parking challenges takes more than just AI—it requires ongoing investment in dedicated micromobility parking and safe street design.
With technology like Captur’s parking assistant and thoughtful infrastructure upgrades, we can pave the way for a more organized, accessible, and sustainable future for micromobility.
