Dynamic Balance design and AI-generated technology.

The most notable technological highlight in the new update is the VinFast virtual assistant, which integrates generative AI. This technology allows conversations between the driver and the car to become more natural, intelligent, and human-like. The virtual assistant is capable of self-learning and continuously updating information from the internet to address complex user requests in real-world context.
