VinFast, Autobrains, Nvidia to co-develop L4 autonomous driving system

Vietnamese automaker VinFast has agreed to establish a strategic partnership with Israel-based Autobrains Technologies Ltd and US chipmaker Nvidia to develop a next-generation Level 4 autonomous driving system for Southeast Asia. The announcement was made at the Nvidia Technology Conference held at the recent Computex 2026 exhibition in Taipei, Taiwan.

VinFast confirmed that a new Level 4 autonomous driving system will be built on the Nvidia Drive Hyperion 10 computing system and powered by Autobrains’ Agentic AI autonomous driving software. It will be developed specifically for Southeast Asia’s road conditions, including dense traffic, diverse road behavior, and highly dynamic urban environments, which it says “present a demanding validation ground for autonomous driving.”

VinFast said that the collaboration “marks a new step in VinFast’s roadmap to make advanced autonomous driving technology more accessible at a reasonable cost, while opening up a more practical approach to autonomous mobility solutions in the region’s highly complex traffic environments.”

VinFast further stated: “The three-way collaboration comes at a time when autonomous driving has stalled on three persistent barriers: system complexity, compute cost, and brittle performance outside controlled environments. To address these challenges, VinFast, Nvidia, and Autobrains are developing a modular architecture, pairing vehicle integration, high-performance compute, and Agentic AI…
