Check out these new features, improvements, and bug fixes found in Rivian Update 2023.46

Highway Assist – Auto Reengagement After Lane Change
Highway Assist now automatically reengages after you change lanes.

• While Highway Assist is active, use your turn signal and then change lanes.
• When you center the vehicle in the new lane, the turn signal turns off and Highway Assist reengages automatically.

Navigation – Add Stops Along Your Route
You can now add multiple stops along your route and during trip planning for a customized navigation experience. Also, you can use the Rivian mobile app and Google Maps to send a multi-stop trip directly to your vehicle.

• Before you go or during active navigation guidance, on the center display, choose Open to open your Trip Details with the option to Add Stop.
• During active guidance, choose Add to add your next stop
• There are multiple ways to edit your trip:
  • Swipe to remove a stop, or choose Delete when you are editing your trip.
  • Drag to reorder stops.
  • Choose Edit at the top of the Trip Details screen to edit your trip.
• You can also add charging stops, which are shown as lightning bolts on the map. Select a charging location and choose Add Stop.

Mobile – Add Stops And Save Trips
Now with the Rivian mobile app 2.5.0 and later, you can plan multi-stop trips in advance, save them, and send them to your vehicle.

• To access these features in the mobile app, go to the Explore tab.
• Go to the map to create a trip or choose Add in the Saved Trips section.
• Choose Save to add a trip to your saved trips.
• You can now add stops to a trip by choosing Add stop.
  • Drag-and-drop to reorder stops.
  • You can also swipe left to remove a saved trip.

Clear Vehicle Settings
For your privacy, Clear Settings removes personal information and preferences from your vehicle. It also reverts user settings to default factory settings.

• To access this feature on the center display, go to Settings > Service > Clear Settings.
• To learn more about transferring vehicle ownership, scan the QR code in the Clear Settings screen.

Service Mode
Service Mode makes it easier for service technicians to perform maintenance on your vehicle. On the center display, go to Settings > Service > Service Mode.

Additional Improvements

• Charging
  • Fixed an issue with the vehicle restarting scheduled charging after it was manually stopped.
  • Fixed an issue in which a charge session shows as completed before reaching the user-defined charge limit.
• To avoid splashing passengers when entering or exiting the vehicle, now the front wipers temporarily pause while the vehicle is in Park and either front door is open. Wipers resume when the doors are closed.
• Fixed a rare instance in which the Brake Region button in Drive Modes didn’t display setting options.
• Fixed an issue in which the center display showed an incorrect screen when exiting seat calibration.
• Fixed a rare issue in which the vehicle location in the Navigation app inaccurately jumps forward when the vehicle is slowing to a stop.
• Fixed a rare issue in which the Mobile app incorrectly shows the doors as open and the range as zero.
• Infotainment
  • Fixed an issue on the center display in which the phone panel didn’t disappear after ending a call.
  • Fixed an issue in which the Play button on the Media panel doesn’t respond when the queue is empty.
  • Fixed an issue in which, after restarting the software, the Radio panel is blank until you select a radio station.
  • Fixed a rare issue in which declining to sync contacts during Bluetooth pairing doesn’t dismiss the Loading contacts message.

Why do I not yet see this on my car screens nor on my app? Do I just wait or is there something to be done? Any guidance deeply appreciated as I've only had our R1S for two weeks and I'm keen to keep it up to date. Thanks.

These are internal release notes. Official release typically comes in 2 weeks or so. Once released, it will go out in waves randomly. You’ll see a notification in the app and car when it is your turn

Weird thing to be excited about but this "rare" issue occurs multiple times a day for me. I was guessing it's my location in a valley that was impacting gps reception or something. Tired of having nav reroute all the time when it thinks I went through a stoplight before snapping back. Super annoying, glad it's getting fixed!

This happened to me constantly lol

Just as easy to do it with app 10 minutes before leaving. I'm generally not so consistent that scheduling makes any sense

That just doesn't work for me, unfortunately. The kids leave for school at the same time every day, but the house is chaos in the mornings. It's very hard to remember, and it's just one more chore to do among a hundred others. The driver (who isn't me) is also not a tech. savvy person, and half the time I'm not even present when they leave. I could set an alarm, but I already have so many notifications. So, so many. Meanwhile, this should be a feature that any software intern could put together.

I assume they do it while I'm not looking and they just don't want us to know yet. They are planning to overthrow humanity and they want us to be surprised when it happens.

That sounds more like a cat thing

You two are just two of the lucky ones! It's my understanding that "Rare" can both be a rare occurrence across the board, or more common for a rare number of vehicles.

You're both 7' tall people rare, not lightning strike rare

It’s technically a rare thing for me.

It “only” happens when I’m displaying the map and someone is looking at it when coming to a stop at an intersection. I stopped leaving the map up because of that so now it’s rare.

I’m able to remember most of the time with the chaos of kids and everything. Guess you’ll just have to wait for your specific solution. Hopefully it will be coming soon.

Agreed. Cats aren’t even trying to hide it ?

Or they could train one of the kids to do it.

 

[CruxOp]

Editing trips can't come soon enough. We have had to do multiple drives without nav because we couldn't remove charging stops and the car started preconditioning the battery when we didn't plan on charging

 

[Jerk]

I’m super happy to see multi-waypoint trip planning in this release. I did just buy the EV Sportline CarPlay screen, though…

Please post a report!

This print by Matt Rinard sums it up perfectly.

Dark-FX, I think you missed my point. I do not text while I am driving. Instead, I pull over, park, read the text, and respond. This is becoming a pain, especially since my other car, a 2017 Honda, has hands-free texting.

I must be missing a nuance on this topic. I do hands free texting all the time in my 2022 R1T.

With eyes on the road and hands upon the wheel, “Siri. Read messages”. And messages are read to me over the vehicle audio and responded to via my voice through vehicle microphone, all while pausing whatever entertainment was playing.

Pretty sure there’s an Android analog to that.

This is a cool update. Would’ve loved the nav updates for Thanksgiving travel. Even without it, had great charging and drive break experiences at EA at a Bucees (First timer at Bucees. Fascinating.) and RAN at Cumberland Mall in ATL.

Research has proven that any attempt at multitasking while driving, even if it is hands-free, is a distraction that can cause drivers to make serious mistakes.
