Vinfast to partner with Amazon in voice integration into electric vehicles

The plan was announced at the 2022 New York International Auto Show (NYIAS 2022) and will see Alexa services integrate into the VF 8 and VF 9 all-electric SUVs.

The Alexa in-vehicle experience has been designed to be an extension of the Alexa experience at home, including car control, navigation, and other skills, all of which are designed for on-the-go circumstances, such as finding parking spaces.

“By simply asking Alexa, Vinfast customers can control vehicle functions including interior lighting, seat heaters, cabin temperature, playing music, listening to audiobooks, getting directions, checking traffic, managing their smart home devices, and more – all while keeping their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road,” says PR Newswire.

At present, VinFast is showcasing three models at the ongoing NYIAS 2022, including VF 7, VF 8, and VF 9. 

Furthermore, for the first time in the US market, VinFast is offering a public test drive to attendees, providing a practical experience of the excellent smart technology integrated into its vehicles.
