HANOI (VIETNAM) – Vietnam’s first domestic car manufacturer, Vinfast is gearing up to test autonomous vehicles on public streets in California.
Vinfast, a unit of Vingroup JSC, said they received a permit from the California Vehicle Administration which was required to commercialize its electric vehicles in the US market.
The company has developed three models with autonomous features, adding that two of the models would be sold in the US, Canadian and European markets from 2022.
In it’s efforts to expand globally, Vinfast said it had bought GM Holden’s Lang Lang Testing Centre in Australia following its move to open a research and development centre in Melbourne.
