This sounds like an episode of the TV show EVIL. Does Rivian do voice commands/have a mic?

Does Rivian do voice commands/have a mic?

Yes. They have Alexa built in.

Any idea if they were on fm?

Could be as simple as an fm transmitter. I use one for my Christmas light show.

If it was via Alexa, I wonder if Alexa announcements ping on the vehicles. I haven't tried.

 

[Gen(R3)Xer]

Yes. They have Alexa built in.

Ah, that’s right. I’ve heard of those speakers doing some pretty wacky things over the years, like laughing maniacally at people.

There needs to be an over under on what someone is going to blame their Rivian for next. It stands to reason talking cars was somewhere on the list. After all, they are being blamed for launching themselves into parked cars on a far too often basis.

Basically, A.I. marriage.

Had this happen this morning on my Amazon Dot. I expect it is Alexa acting up.

Test wow, please ignore.

Now ask Alexa to do fart sounds.

Didn't Rivian announce AI enhancements, recently? It's just a matter of time until the machines take over. j/k

This has got to be satire, or someone playing a joke. Did they check if they'd forgot one of their kids in the back seat?
