"Rivian is rolling out a new AI-powered driving system and hands-free features, plus a paid Autonomy+ subscription starting in 2026 for $2,500 (one-time) or $49.99 (per month). Rivian says its new AI voice assistant system will sync with your Google Calendar and improve the company's service and diagnostics process. These updates are coming to the second-generation Rivian R1 vehicles and the forthcoming R2 crossover."
"The California-based electric vehicle startup today announced the advent of the Rivian Autonomy Platform: an end-to-end AI-powered data loop used for training cars to operate better and better with less human supervision, and ultimately Level 4 autonomous driving for consumer-owned cars. The SAE defines L4 as a car that can drive without any human supervision under certain conditions, like a Waymo taxi."
Rivian is deploying an AI-powered Autonomy Platform across second-generation R1T/R1S models and the forthcoming R2 crossover. The platform integrates an AI voice assistant that syncs with Google Calendar and enhances service and diagnostics through an end-to-end data loop for training vehicles with reduced human supervision. Rivian aims to progress toward Level 4 autonomy while noting that Level 4 is not immediately available. The company plans Universal Hands-Free (UHF) driving on roads with clearly painted lines. The R2 will include lidar as an affordable offering, and Autonomy+ will be offered starting in 2026 for $2,500 one-time or $49.99 monthly.
