Rivian unveils self-driving chip and autonomy plans to compete with Tesla
"I couldn't be more excited for the work our teams are driving in autonomy and AI. Our updated hardware platform, which includes our in-house 1600 sparse TOPS inference chip, will enable us to achieve dramatic progress in self-driving to ultimately deliver on our goal of delivering L4. This represents an inflection point for the ownership experience - ultimately being able to give customers their time back when in the car."
"While our initial focus will be on personally owned vehicles, which today represent a vast majority of the miles to the United States, this also enables us to pursue opportunities in the rideshare space."
Rivian plans an Autonomy+ self-driving product available as a $49.99/month subscription or a $2,500 one-time purchase for access to its autonomy suite. The platform includes an in-house 1600 sparse TOPS inference chip to run neural-network based driving software and is manufactured by TSMC. The vehicle sensor suite comprises 11 cameras, five radar sensors, and a single forward-facing LiDAR. The system will improve via deep learning as more miles are driven, targeting Level 4 autonomy. Initial deployment will focus on personally owned vehicles with potential future expansion into rideshare services.
