Rivian crashes into Hollywood restaurant [update: driven by Ferris Bueller's Day Off star Alan Ruck]

[sub]

Could very well be. The only other explanation is software glitch ?

Yes, clearly the software installed in the drivers brain was malfunctioning.

What will have a larger repair bill, the restaurant or the Rivian?

On a more serious note, I hope no one was hurt.

No one has suggested it was stolen as an option? By an older, frugal, medically-conditioned driver?

Unconfirmed reports it was Alan Ruck (actor) driving the Rivian…

Just waiting on someone to blame it on Driver+

Or the “omg accelerator pedal is too stiff”. Or, “omg this car is too complicated”. No one ever admits, “I suck at driving”.

Was it stolen? ie, drive it like you stole it???

Just had to check that it was not my Rivian. As I am staying in sub par hotel in Hollywood (like 5 blocks from there) and am paranoid about my truck getting ripped off.

The fact that it has a tonneau only exacerbated my concerns!

… maybe someone with a bow tie and suspenders…

I suppose even Rally Mode has its limits.

You think the media will be that discerning? This will definitely be "Another vehicle on autopilot..."

Good ol case of pedal confusion. Been several people complaining about it here.

I have never confused a pedal ever. We came from a Volvo XC40 Recharge. It had the "golf cart" pedal and it took all of 1 min. to get used to it.

I am wondering if this driver had it in All Purpose or Sport mode and was showing off. I hope it wasn't someone in this forum....and it is.....please tell us what happened.

Could it have been a loaner vehicle or a "test drive"?

Was this an off-roader who took "it could climb a brick wall" too seriously?

I gotta ask, why didnt the collision mitigation system stop the truck?
