milestone, affirming the vision of becoming a global smart electric vehicle

and developed the first three self-driving electric cars: VF31, VF32, VF33. All
3 SUVs are multi-purpose vehicles, with a strong and trendy high-chassis
design; capable of steering and self-driving assistance; equipped with
outstanding safety and intelligence features.

into 7 groups including: driver assistance, lane control, speed control, scene
collision warning and mitigation, parking assistance and driver monitoring.

high-class, pioneering products.
In particular, the full-option versions of VF33, VF32 and VF31 own high-performance sensor systems
including LiDAR sensors; 14 cameras are capable of detecting objects up to 687m
away; 19 360-degree sensors allow warning and handling at high speeds (above 100km/h). The self-driving system controlled by
the Orin-X chip can process up to 200 GB of data per second, allowing control
and navigation up to eight times faster than current generations. In addition,
the full-option
versions of all 3 models are equipped with some level 4 autopilot features such
as automatic 3-dimensional map setting (first and only in the market), auto-detect parking slot and auto-parking; summoning vehicles… with the
ability to connect with the transport system and smart cities, bringing

standards such as NHTSA 5*, Euro NCAP 5* with automatic detection, warning and
notification systems to medical centers when users have accident. The batteries are arranged under
the floor of the car, with heat resistance from 400C to 800C to
ensure absolute safety when driving.
