Rivian CEO says autonomy will enable radically different vehicle designs, beyond R2 and R3 (non-security news)
Rivian founder and CEO RJ Scaringe told TechCrunch Disrupt that autonomous driving will let the company build vehicles very different from its current SUVs and trucks. Rivian is prioritizing autonomy software development even at the cost of delaying profitability. The article is industry and business news and describes no cyber threat, vulnerability, incident or threat actor.
Scaringe argued that about 95% of miles driven in the United States are in personally owned vehicles, so he expects personal ownership to persist even with Level 4 capabilities. He said the R4, which follows R1, R2 and R3, has not yet been shown. Rivian currently ships a hands-off driver-assistance system and has promised supervised "point-to-point navigation" by the end of the year. It also plans robotaxi versions of the R2 SUV on Uber's ride-hail app. The article compares the situation with earlier unrealized concept-car promises from Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and Hyundai.
