Dubai, UAE: At this year’s GITEX Global, one of the most talked-about showcases came from Tensor, an emerging autonomous mobility company, which unveiled its futuristic “RoboCar” prototype, a fully electric, self-driving vehicle that hints at the next frontier of intelligent transportation.

What captured additional attention beyond its sleek design and autonomous capabilities was its production story: Last month, Vietnamese media reported that the RoboCar — the world’s first self-driving EV available for public purchase — is being manufactured by VinFast, Vietnam’s fast-growing global EV maker. While neither Tensor nor VinFast has officially confirmed the partnership, the news has sparked strong interest across the industry.
