HOV Buddy rents hyper-realistic passengers, so the diamond lane is finally yours. Our buddies nod, sleep, and in one case talk. None of them will ask to change the station.
Meet the Lineup See PlansThe whole thing takes about two days, most of which is shipping.
Browse the lineup and choose whoever fits your commute. Greg agrees with everything. Tyler ignores you, which some drivers find restful.
Your buddy arrives by van within two days, dressed for the season, with care instructions and a spare collar stay.
Buckle them in and take the diamond. Traffic happens to other people now.
Trade outfits each season or trade buddies entirely. Return shipping is free and a little emotional.
Every buddy ships belted, posed, and committed to the role. Tap any photo for a closer look.
Business casual, gentle nod, faint smile. Through a window at 65 mph he reads as a coworker who had a long week. Pairs well with talk radio.
Head against the window, glasses slightly askew for realism, deeply asleep. Officers have waved her through out of what we can only describe as respect.
His head turns at stoplights. His mouth is open because he is somewhere in the middle of a story about a boat. Drivers in adjacent lanes have waved back.
Hood up, phone out, no acknowledgment that you exist. Indistinguishable from a real teenager at any speed. Our least expensive humanoid model.
Sits up straight, holds her own coffee, projects quarterly authority. Popular on express lanes near office parks, where she outranks most real passengers.
A golden retriever. Counts as a passenger in zero states, and every renter knows it. She is our second most rented buddy anyway. We have stopped asking why.
The average HOV Buddy member passes 340 stopped cars per commute. Some drivers report guilt. It fades around exit 12, usually about the time Greg's head dips into a fresh nod.
Every humanoid buddy is weighted to sway naturally with the car, because a passenger who sits perfectly still is the kind of detail an officer notices twice.
Calculate Your SavingsDrag the sliders. The math is real. The lane access is, legally speaking, a separate conversation.
A small servo, a light sensor, and eleven degrees of rotation. When the light goes red, Dave turns toward you like he has been waiting all day to finish the boat story. When it goes green, he returns to the road, satisfied.
Renters tell us the motion sells the whole illusion. One reported that after three weeks she started answering him. We told her that was normal. We are not sure it is normal.

A passenger in a parka in July raises questions. Members on the Commuter plan and up get a quarterly visit from an outfitting technician, who arrives with a garment bag and strong opinions about layering.
Carol's cardigan rotation alone includes four florals and a holiday knit. Your neighbors will learn to stop asking. Ours did.
See the PlansCollected from members who agreed to be quoted, and one who insisted.
Weekly rentals start at $27. Monthly plans add swaps, support, and a second seat belt's worth of loyalty.
Our terms of service state plainly that this plan protects nothing. It includes a laminated card that reads "We tried," which members describe as something to hold. Renewal rates are above ninety percent.
Staffed around the clock by a recording of hold music, performed by a jazz trio out of Burbank. There is no menu and no one picks up. Members call it soothing. One calls it weekly, from the shoulder, just to think.
Our complete legal position is published on the legal page.
For shuttle operators, sales teams, and anyone who needs a van to look full. A fleet coordinator replies within one business day, from a personal email address, for reasons.
Request received. A fleet coordinator will be in touch within one business day. In the meantime, drive normally. Wave at no one.
Your buddy is being dressed and belted as we speak. Delivery in two days. The van driver will wave. So might your buddy, depending on the model.
