A draft national technical regulation on safety and environmental protection for cars would require pure battery electric vehicles (BEV or PEV) to be fitted with an AVAS sound alert system for pedestrians and cyclists. AVAS must activate automatically when the vehicle travels below 20 km/h or reverses, is on by default at start-up, and may have a switch that drivers can use to turn it on or off. The sound must be continuous, change with speed, and must not resemble horns, bells, emergency alarms, musical tones, or animal sounds; for M1 cars fitted with AVAS, it may only operate when running fully on electricity. According to the Vietnam Register, pure electric cars can move slowly without the engine noise people nearby expect, so the requirement aims to improve safety for pedestrians, motorcyclists and cyclists.

- Rushed to market without full testing, Chinese cars are reined in by regulators
China's regulator has issued a draft tightening control over innovative vehicle design and test validation, after some automakers rushed out new products with incomplete testing. Hà Chí Kỳ, executive deputy general manager of BYD, said the domestic market received 542 new models in the first five months of 2026, an average of 3.6 per day. The draft requires reliability testing of at least 30,000 km and environmental adaptation cycles of no less than one year covering two winters and a summer, and bans fully hidden door handles, foldable and flexible screens, and seats that convert to beds while the car is moving. Products that are not declared as required or are insufficiently validated will not be approved. Public comments are open until 10 November 2026, with the rules expected to take effect on 1 January 2027 for new products, while existing models in the catalogue must submit supplementary filings before 1 July 2027.
- Tesla says it will start selling Cybercabs by end of year
Tesla said it will start selling Cybercabs to customers by year-end, even as federal regulators investigate whether the vehicle meets safety standards. The gold-hued, autonomous two-seater has no steering wheel. On the third-quarter earnings call, Tesla VP of engineering Lars Moravy said all Cybercabs produced now are for Tesla's own robotaxi fleet, and customer sales will start small and expand as the company learns about delivery, ownership and fleet management. Musk said Cybercab will mainly be a Tesla-owned transport service, and that an unsupervised version of FSD is expected for customers in the second quarter of next year, another delay for owners who bought the software years ago.
- Toyota Motor (TSE:7203) Brings EV Casting Tech to China While Pushing EU Rule Changes
Toyota Motor plans to use Tesla-style gigacasting, which consolidates body parts into fewer, larger components, at a new Lexus electric vehicle plant in China. At the same time, it has urged EU policymakers to adjust automotive content rules so that more parts sourced outside the bloc can qualify. The article frames these moves as efforts to lower EV manufacturing costs and boost local procurement, while noting that tight or unpredictable EU rules could create execution risks. It also notes that analysts have flagged that debt coverage and dividend funding depend on consistent operating cash flow.
- Tesla's flying Roadster requires a $50,000 deposit — but even Musk isn't sure it's street-legal
On October 15, Tesla VP of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy declared “flying cars are real” at a SpaceX facility in McGregor, Texas, where the second-generation Roadster was demonstrated climbing an inverted track, flipping through the air and landing softly before driving off. The car uses an underbody suction fan and compressed-air cold-gas thrusters to reach 0–60 mph in under one second. The Rocket version sits in a legal gray area, as its high-pressure gas tanks, aerospace-grade valves and protruding nozzles may conflict with NHTSA's federal motor vehicle safety standards, such as the requirement for crumple zones. Tesla's product page says the vehicle is “not approved for public road use,” and Musk said he is not sure it is legal in every jurisdiction; an NHTSA spokesperson said the manufacturer must ensure it does not defy federal standards and drivers must obey local traffic laws.
- How lower fuel economy targets could boost pickups and V-8 engines
The U.S. lowered its fuel economy target to an average of 34.9 miles per gallon by 2031, down from 50.4 under the prior rules, and Congress voted to eliminate automaker fines for non-compliance. TD Cowen analyst Itay Michaeli said this could give automakers a tailwind of a few to several hundred million dollars, and the end of credit trading lets them shift from compliance vehicles toward more profitable gasoline models such as pickups and V-8 engines from Ram, GM and Ford. Automakers have already taken large EV-related charges, including Ford's $19.5 billion special charge and GM's $7.1 billion impact tied to China. Analyst John Murphy expects hybrids to rise from 14% of the market last year to about 34% by the end of the decade, absent a change in the regulatory regime. The article is cut off before its full view on EVs.
- What Does Tesla (TSLA) NHTSA School Zone Probe Mean For Robotaxis?
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has opened a safety investigation into Tesla (NasdaqGS:TSLA) robotaxis and the Cybercab prototype over alleged failures to slow in school zones. The probe focuses on reported incidents in which Tesla autonomous vehicles allegedly did not slow appropriately in active school zones with children present. Regulators are reviewing data from Tesla and complaints from local authorities to determine whether the current robotaxi software complies with federal safety rules. The article identifies the agency's eventual outcome as the key signpost to watch, particularly whether it requires a formal recall, imposes fines, or restricts unsupervised operation near schools.

- Quốc Cường Gia Lai reports loss after Ms. Nguyễn Thị Như Loan returns to the 'hot seat'
Quốc Cường Gia Lai posted a third-quarter net loss of nearly 7 billion VND, its first loss since mid-2024 and its weakest result in two years, shortly after Nguyễn Thị Như Loan returned as CEO in place of her son. Q3 revenue was 27 billion VND, nearly five times lower than a year earlier, due to fewer apartment handovers and no electricity sales after the hydropower plants were transferred. Gross profit fell 91% to 4 billion VND, compared with a profit of over 24 billion VND in the same period last year. For the first nine months, revenue reached 107 billion VND, far below the full-year target of 2,403 billion VND, but after-tax profit was nearly 175 billion VND thanks to 243 billion VND in other income from the hydropower disposal. At end-September, total assets were nearly 8,200 billion VND, down about 550 billion VND from the start of the year, while liabilities fell from nearly 4,000 billion to under 3,300 billion VND.
- President Putin: No side will win if Russia and Europe clash
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow is ready for a possible conflict with Europe, although it does not want one, and that no side would win if any clash broke out. He said Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre were right to initiate a phone call with Russia, and that Moscow supports every step to fully restore relations with European countries. Putin warned that restricting communications could lead to a situation similar to the Strait of Hormuz in the Baltic Sea. A leaked US intelligence report suggested Russia could attack NATO's eastern flank within weeks, while the Telegraph reported Russia intends to use the next round of Ukraine peace talks to win NATO concessions on eastward expansion. UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting warned that Britain's rivals could be capable of attacking by 2030.
- National Assembly deputy: Need to ban 'flipping' of off-plan home purchase contracts
Deputy Lê Thanh Hoàn proposed banning the transfer of purchase contracts for homes not yet built (“homes on paper”) to curb speculation, during the National Assembly's morning debate on 30/10 on the amended Law on Real Estate Business. He argued that current law transfers the position in the contract rather than a finished property, allowing early buyers who pay a deposit and small installments to resell at higher prices, with returns on invested capital possibly many times larger. He cited China and South Korea, which restrict such transfers. Several deputies also urged banning developers from collecting booking or deposit funds before a project meets legal conditions, and Deputy Tô Ái Vang proposed placing 5% of deposits into a blocked account at a guarantor bank. The National Assembly is expected to approve the bill on 21/11.
- Microsoft (MSFT) Stock Shrugs Off Q1 Earnings As AI Spending Looms
Microsoft shares barely moved, slipping 0.2% to about US$530, despite Q1 fiscal 2027 results showing revenue of US$92.3b and basic EPS of US$4.93, both up sharply year on year. Cloud revenue reached US$63.9b, up 30%, while Azure grew 48%. Microsoft is pouring US$170B into AI buildout, with quarterly capex of US$31.9b, over two-thirds going into short-lived CPUs and GPUs. Bullish observers argue the spending will lift revenue and support margins, while bearish investors worry the AI build will become a margin drag rather than an earnings engine. The stock trades at a 27.6x P/E.
- Alphabet (GOOGL) Stock Price Sinks As Q3 Results Deepen AI Cash Flow Doubts
Alphabet shares fell roughly 13% to about US$283 on the day, even though Q3 2026 revenue rose about 25% to US$127.6b and Google Cloud revenue climbed about 103% to US$30.7b. Net income fell about 25% to US$26.2b and basic EPS dropped about 26% to US$2.14, while free cash flow moved into a quarterly loss. The article notes a 36.2% Google Cloud margin and says AI usage now covers 80% of Cloud customers, but argues the promised step change in profitability is not yet visible at the consolidated level. Bearish analysts expect heavier regulatory and compliance costs around data, privacy and antitrust to keep pressuring margins. A cash-flow-based valuation cited in the article suggests the stock could be 46% undervalued.
- How AI Factory Expansion Will Impact NVIDIA (NVDA) Investors
