I did notice that. I wonder if that is an interior sound or are you hearing the exterior sound inside the cab?

I don't think it's artificial sound. I think it's a combination of tires on snow and ice, and wind. If you listen closely, you CAN hear the slight electric whine when he puts a little foot into it.

I love this. Not going to lie... I booted up my laptop just to go full screen frame by frame on the infotainment center. I could only make out Time, Cellular, and Wifi. Best focus I found was around frame :31.

The speed dash display is pretty barren looking right now.

I heard the motors whine as well, didn't hear any artificial sound. However I don't drive an EV now so I'm not sure if that electric whine is normal or the artificial sound they use externally. Sounded like what I would have expected anyway.

Does RJ look a little cramped? I believe he's tallish (6' I think I saw mentioned, but can't find the source now) but his knees look higher than I'd expect for such a large and spacious vehicle.
Agreed, that would be odd, Let's hope it's camera trickery for those of us that have 34-36" inseams favor. ?

I really hope there is a "dark mode" that can be enabled. I don't want to stare at a WHITE screen all day.

Agreed! I also hope they clean up that dash, it looks like an engineering UI I would throw together for testing. I hope it will be much more polished in the final version.

Drift Mode!

I've never used a video as my screensaver....until now....

Is that topo map recognizable from any known navigation software?

So many holes up there. Accessory mounting holes? Alexa microphone array? Thoughts?

Could be mics as the whole vehicle IIRC has active noise canceling.

At any time in the video, did anyone actually believe RJ was doing any drifting or sliding? His hands (and the wheel) were pretty steady.

Nope, and it did kind of bother me a bit. "oh hey kids, check out this drifting (drives straight)". They could have at least cut away to drone footage of a pro kicking the rear end out.

I thought the Wyoming "Low Way" video had much better shots of drifting in it.

I am pretty sure that the Rivian navigation is being built with Mapbox (https://www.mapbox.com/automotive). I noticed some github activity that seemed to imply it and Rivian's Director of in-vehicle UX transitioned to that position from his role of "Director of Product Design: Automotive & Navigation" at Mapbox.
