VinFast Partners with NVIDIA and Autobrains to Develop Level 4 Autonomous Robotaxis

Vietnamese automaker VinFast is forging a strategic alliance with technology giants NVIDIA and Autobrains to pioneer Level 4 autonomous robotaxi technology. Announced during the NVIDIA GTC Taipei event at COMPUTEX 2026, this collaboration is set to produce the first Level 4 robotaxi platform leveraging an AI agent architecture, designed for extensive deployment across commercial vehicle lines.

This partnership marks a significant stride in VinFast's autonomous driving strategy, aiming to tackle the unique transportation issues prevalent in Southeast Asia. Current autonomous systems often grapple with high complexity, substantial computational costs, and inconsistent performance outside controlled environments. To overcome these hurdles, VinFast's robotaxi platform will utilize NVIDIA's DRIVE Hyperion 10 computing system, integrated with Autobrains' specialized Agentic AI software.

Cùng với Autobrains và NVIDIA, chúng tôi đang từng bước xây dựng hướng tiếp cận thực tiễn và tối ưu chi phí cho công nghệ di chuyển cấp độ 4 trong môi trường giao thông thực tế năng động tại Đông Nam Á.

A key differentiator of this solution is Autobrains' Agentic AI, which employs a modular, open architecture. Unlike traditional end-to-end AI models, this technology activates multiple specialized AI agents only when specific driving tasks are required. VinFast asserts this approach enables more agile responses to real-world traffic scenarios, optimizes data processing demands, and reduces the strain on computational hardware.

VinFast has ambitious plans, designating Southeast Asia as a priority region for its Level 4 robotaxi development. The region presents one of the world's most intricate traffic environments, characterized by high vehicle density, diverse modes of transport, and varied urban infrastructure. Professor Dr. Nguyễn Văn Dương, VinFast's Deputy CEO of Autonomous Driving Development and Director of the ADAS/AD Research Institute, stated that VinFast aims to create scalable and accessible autonomous solutions by collaborating with leading global tech partners. "Together with Autobrains and NVIDIA, we are step-by-step building a practical and cost-optimized approach for Level 4 mobility technology in the dynamic real-world traffic conditions of Southeast Asia," he shared. Rishi Dhall, NVIDIA's Vice President of Automotive, expressed confidence in the project, noting that development on the NVIDIA DRIVE platform will accelerate VinFast's creation of safe autonomous vehicles tailored for complex traffic conditions, thereby advancing the trend of autonomous mobility.
