Recently, Tensor announced it’s plans to build a personal robocar for high-end clients, signalling a shift away from robotaxis in a world first project. However, while the spotlight has been on Tensor, it’s VinFast who is building the robocars that will bring this vision to life. The Vietnamese automaker is taking on the challenge of turning cutting-edge research into a real, scalable product, reinforcing its ambition not only to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles but also to shape the future of intelligent mobility.
Who is VinFast?
VinFast (NASDAQ: VFS), a subsidiary of Vingroup JSC, one of Vietnam’s largest conglomerates, is a pure-play electric vehicle (“EV”) manufacturer with the mission of making EVs accessible to everyone. VinFast’s product lineup today includes a wide range of electric SUVs, e-scooters, and e-buses.
VinFast is currently embarking on its next growth phase through rapid expansion of its distribution and dealership network globally and increasing its manufacturing capacities with a focus on key markets across North America, Europe and Asia.

The Tensor Project
Tensor represents a world-first initiative in robocar technology. While details remain closely held, the programme signals a decisive step towards fully autonomous, shared, and scalable vehicle systems. Building robocars at this level requires not only cutting-edge sensor suites and AI algorithms but also robust approaches to safety, validation, and global regulatory alignment – challenges VinFast is determined to meet head-on.
On Stage at AutoSens Barcelona
Dr. Duong-Van Nguyen
Global Deputy CEO, in charge of ADAS/AD
Dr. Nguyen’s perspective, grounded in VinFast’s pioneering work, will be invaluable in shaping this discussion. His presence alongside other international leaders underscores AutoSens’s role as the premier platform for collaboration, dialogue, and forward-looking solutions in vehicle perception and automation.
We’re delighted to announce that Dr. Nguyen will join the Opening Plenary Panel at AutoSens Europe 2025 in Barcelona:
“Homologation Harmonisation: Aligning Global Standards for Automated Vehicles and ADAS.”
This session will explore one of the most pressing challenges facing our industry: how to reconcile different regional requirements for automated and assisted driving systems. As regulators in Europe, North America, and Asia advance their frameworks, manufacturers and suppliers must navigate a complex patchwork of standards. A globally consistent approach is critical if automated driving is to scale successfully – and safely.
