Recently, VinFast, a new car manufacturer in Vietnam, announced that it has joined hands with ZF to jointly develop L2+ level autonomous driving systems and a variety of advanced driver assistance systems. VinFast confirmed that ZF will provide it with cameras, radar and lidar sensors, and that all data will be processed in zf's central control unit. It is reported that VinFast's L2+ level driver assistance system will be realized in mid-2022, including traffic congestion patrol, highway automatic driving and automatic parking, and L3 level autonomous driving and higher level technology will be developed in the future.
Le Thi Thuy, Global CEO of VinFast, said in a statement: "VinFast and ZF are highly compatible and our goals are exactly the same. The future will be both electrified and automated, as we protect the environment while improving safety, convenience and efficiency. As VinFast's sales volume continues to expand worldwide, we will achieve this vision for our customers." ”
It is reported that VinFast will develop its autonomous driving system in China, Germany and the entire North American region, which will be officially launched in mid-2022. In addition, according to VinFast, ZF's automatic parking system will eventually rely entirely on vehicle sensors, eliminating the need to map garages and parking lots in advance to achieve automatic parking.
