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…
