VinFast is pilot testing a Level 2++ driver-assistance system on its VF 8 and VF 9 with Autobrains, as it develops enhanced systems for a next-generation vehicle platform. The Vietnamese automaker and Autobrains, an AI firm focused on automotive intelligence, are working on improving driver-assistance functions for production vehicles and developing a concept architecture called Robo-Car.
The Robo-Car system uses seven production-grade cameras and a compact computing platform that can process approximately 20 trillion operations per second. It does not use LiDAR or high-definition mapping, instead relying on Autobrains' Agentic AI and Air-to-Road localization, which combines live camera data with satellite imagery.
VinFast's current electric vehicle (EV) lineup is equipped with Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), including adaptive cruise control, lane centring assist, automatic emergency braking and intelligent speed assist. The company is now developing enhanced Level 2+ and Level 2++ capabilities.
The Robo-Car architecture is being evaluated in controlled zones in Hanoi. VinFast plans to expand testing to larger urban environments and international markets. The program emphasizes phased validation, with each stage requiring real-world testing and safety confirmation before deployment.
