The Bookworm and His “Martial Arts” Blueprint

The Bookworm of Silicon Valley: Unveiling a Revolutionary Self-Driving Technology

In the heart of the world’s largest technology “library,” the Silicon Valley, there lived a bookworm named Tensor. For years, Tensor worked discreetly, almost in stealth mode, crafting a revolutionary “martial art” in the form of autonomous driving technology.

This technology, penned in millions of lines of code and infused with artificial intelligence and complex algorithms, was theoretically unbeatable. However, it existed merely as pages and data files.

Tensor, the bookworm, possessed immense knowledge but lacked a robust and precise physical form to bring his martial art to life.

Enter the VinFast Warrior: A Manufacturing Powerhouse from Haiphong

Halfway across the globe, a warrior named VinFast emerged from Haiphong. VinFast boasted an impressive “body” in the form of a state-of-the-art manufacturing complex.

VinFast’s “punch” lay in its mass production capability. With automated welding robots, advanced stamping, painting, and assembly lines, VinFast could transform lifeless steel into fully-fledged vehicles. While VinFast had the strength and technique, it yearned for a groundbreaking “technique” to truly conquer the global arena.

A Fateful Collaboration: When Brain and Brawn Unite for a Common Cause

Tensor, the bookworm, embarked on a quest to find a partner with the strength and discipline to bring his vision to fruition.

A Match Made in Heaven: Tensor and VinFast Join Forces

Tensor and VinFast crossed paths, and a handshake sealed their fate. Together, they formed a symbiotic alliance. Tensor provided the brains, guiding every detail and infusing the Robocar with its “soul,” while VinFast, the warrior, executed each move with precision, bringing complex ideas to life on the road.

This partnership transcended the traditional master-craftsman dynamic. Instead, it was a union of equals, where the brain needed brawn for action, and brawn sought strategic direction from the brain.

Global Recognition: VinFast, the Warrior, Gains Worldwide Acclaim

With the backing of leading global brains, VinFast, the warrior, secured more “fight contracts.” Moreover, this collaboration elevated the “Made in Vietnam” brand. Imagine a self-driving car cruising through the streets of America or Europe, bearing not just the name of Tensor but also the proud proclamation: “The hardware and body of this vehicle were crafted in Vietnam!”

This partnership is akin to a celebrity endorsing a product, elevating its prestige and attracting more tech-savvy bookworms to Vietnam, ushering in a new era for the country’s industry.
