VinFast VF8 EVs Launch Ride Service in Los Angeles

Original: VinFast VF8 EVs Hit Los Angeles Streets as Green SM Challenges Uber, Lyft With Employee Drivers https:// us.auto-mania.f

Green SM, the ride-hailing company backed by Vietnam's VinFast, has begun operating VinFast VF8 electric vehicles on the streets of Los Angeles. Unlike Uber and Lyft, Green SM uses salaried employee drivers rather than independent contractors. The move marks VinFast's push into the US mobility market, directly challenging the dominant ride-hailing platforms with an all-electric fleet.

Why now: Green SM's expansion into the competitive Los Angeles market with an employee-driver model poses a new challenge to Uber and Lyft.
