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.
