Electric vehicle manufacturer Green SM has launched a new ride-hailing service in Los Angeles, deploying a dedicated fleet of 500 VinFast VF 8 models. Unlike traditional gig platforms, the service operates entirely with company-owned vehicles and full-time employees rather than independent contractors. This move marks a shift in the ride-sharing industry by offering a more structured alternative to driver-based models. The initiative could set a precedent for how EV fleets are integrated into urban transportation networks.
