Self-driving cars and electric cars have grown rapidly in several nations as a result of the auto industry’s present strong development. With self-driving cars and electric cars, there are different requirements and characteristics in a variety of disciplines, such as information technology, electronics, telecommunications, and new materials technology. In Vietnam, not only are self-driving car research and development taking place, but also the manufacture of electric vehicles. These two types of vehicles will be seen on the streets of Vietnam in the future. So, when self-driving cars and electric cars are on the road, this creates new requirements for road design and traffic safety. The paper mentions some general problems that must be considered while designing roads and researching traffic safety in order to adapt to self-driving cars and electric cars.
