Water and electricity are a dangerous combination that can cause fatal accidents. Therefore, the vehicle’s battery and charging system are designed to be as watertight as possible, and integrate many additional technologies to protect against discharge, short circuit, etc. Each step of the charging process is carefully calculated to To protect the driver, electronic components must comply with strict rules set by safety organizations around the world, including the Ingress Protection (IP) standard, which indicates the level of dust/water resistance set. by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The IP standard represents the level of dust and water resistance of electronic components, and is widely used around the world. According to IEC 60529 standards, dust resistance is expressed through the first number, 1-6, water resistance is the next number from 1-8, the higher the number means the more resistant to dust/water factors. big. …

Outstanding advantages of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in VinFast electric cars

Self-driving car levels As a rule, autonomous vehicle technology is divided into 6 different levels: Level 0 – No automation: the driver performs all the driving tasks. Level 1 – Driver assistance: the driver must perform most of the tasks necessary to control the vehicle, which is equipped with some features that assist the driver in navigating the car. Level 2 – Partial automation under the supervision of the driver: the car not only has a single driver assistance system, but also has Advanced Driver Assistance Systems – ADAS – which helps the vehicle to steer, accelerate, and brake automatically in complex situations. Drivers are still required to actively participate in the driving process, in particular, they must keep their hands on the steering wheel as well as monitor the direction of the vehicle’s movement. Level 3 – Conditional driving automation, with driver: This level is also known as conditional automation, with many driver assistance systems programmed to make decisions (by artificial intelligence – AI) in real time based on changes in the traffic environment around the car. Although the Level 3 autonomous car can operate without driver involvement, the driver is still required to be present to take control…

VinFast models adopting ADAS technology

VinFast models, pioneered by VinFast VF 8, are now integrated with ADAS features to deliver users an exhilarating driving experience, safety, and comfort. ADAS 1.1. What is ADAS? ADAS, which stands for “Advanced Driver Assistance Systems,” is a type of advanced driver aid system that enables a driver to operate their vehicle without the need to manually manipulate it, and to operate it continually, all while maintaining the vehicle’s safety on all types of roads. The system of cameras, sensors, and radar that is built into the vehicle is what drives the operation of the ADAS. This technology assists the driver in lowering their levels of tension and weariness, which in turn lowers the risk of collisions, traffic accidents, and injuries, particularly while traveling long distances. ADAS functions thanks to the collaboration of Radar/LIDAR, cameras, sensors, and a central computer. Users benefit from ADAS as it increases their sense of safety. According to statistics, the majority of accidents are caused by human factors. Collision avoidance can reduce rear-end car accidents by 27%, lane departure warning can reduce the frequency of accidents by 21%, and blind spot detection can reduce crashes in lanes by 14%, according to a study that was conducted…
