I've always expected full self-driving will require LIDAR, but neither Rivian or Tesla appear to share my belief. The end of the decade is an ambitious deadline for such a small company.
The driver assistance software is available on Rivian's for Gen 2 R1 cars and works on 3.5 million miles of North American roads. But it doesn't slow or stop for traffic lights or stop signs.
We’re wrapping up the year with a software update that elevates your overall driving experience, expands Rivian’s assisted driving capabilities and delivers on top requests from our customers.
