VinFast partners with Autobrains on autonomous driving tech

VinFast has announced a collaboration with Autobrains, an automotive AI company, to develop Level 2++ autonomous driving technologies for future VinFast electric vehicles, according to a press release from the Vietnamese automaker.

The two companies are also jointly developing an autonomous vehicle architecture called "Robo-Car," which uses seven production-grade cameras and a compact computing platform capable of processing approximately 20 trillion operations per second. The system is designed to operate without LiDAR sensors or high-definition mapping infrastructure, relying instead on Autobrains' Agentic AI architecture and a localization technology that combines real-time camera data with satellite imagery.

VinFast's current electric vehicle lineup is equipped with Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Centering Assist, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Intelligent Speed Assist. The company said it plans to introduce Level 2+ and Level 2++ capabilities beginning with its next-generation vehicle platform.

Pilot testing of Level 2++ systems is underway on the VF 8 and VF 9 models. VinFast and Autobrains are also evaluating the Robo-Car architecture in controlled zones in Hanoi, Vietnam, with plans to expand testing into larger urban environments and international markets.

VinFast stated that its development approach requires extensive testing and safety validation before deployment at each phase of the program.
