I won't buy one until Rivian delivers it. Good luck trying to trick people buying Gen2 vehicle and then release the software that's only compatible with Gen3.
As much as Rivian tries to limit the ADAS system, this kind of accident is inevitable. If trying to avoid getting these news is Rivian‘s reason for its conservative development on its ADAS system, I think they are wrong. I remember Rivian tried to advertise “slow development on ADAS” as a...
If the car can park itself in a tight place, people could exit the car before parking. In case of spot that's smaller than R1, it would be also hard for other smaller cars to park.
My understanding is that Rivian is still at the development stage of making lane centering work great on highway thus they will not have anything available in the near term to compete with Tesla's FSD at all. In terms of assisted driving development, they are like Tesla in 2017, of course FSD...
“Today, if you get into a Rivian and put it on the highway, it will drive itself on the highway. It can change lanes in the highway, but when you leave the highway, you retake control. What will happen for us is we'll continue to grow and expand the number of roads and the types of roads that...
Take that with a large grain of salt. They were planning to release enhanced driving assist by the end of 2024 but there was no mentioning of it in the recent end of year update leak. Who knows when will that happen. Hope Rivian gives clear communication when they are changing plan instead of...
If these happened when they were using a version of FSD without the need of human supervision, it would be great example against FSD. However, these incidents have little value in the FSD discussion we are having today.
Deliver incremental improvements on assisted driving then. Everyone here agrees that Rivian cannot pull off solving FSD so there's no expectation from customers on that.
Rivian please don't use this as an excuse to delay improvement on a sub-par assisted driving system. Driver+ really sucks as...
I don't think the current version of autonomy implementation worth subscription at all. Hope they release the better in-house solution when they start charging customers.
Rivian needs to up their game on the assisted driving space. They are lagging too much behind. Upgrading the hardware without software following is not going to gain them much confidence from customers and investors.
I am not an existing owner.
But as a prospecting owner of Gen2 R1S, I am still holding out on the money before Rivian can prove themselves in utilizing the new autonomy platform to provide equivalent capabilities from Tesla's autopilot and enhanced autopilot (even FSD as another future promise).
Rivian doesn't want to make a shitty driver assisted experience even shittier. Imagine you initiate a lane change and they system hesitates for 10s before bailing out and asking you to try again. Gen 1 system is just not worth investment from Rivian and last thing they want is customer using...
I would expect an autonomy hardware retrofit will be available to gen2 owners when the next gen comes out after watching the investor meeting. If that's not happening, Rivian really fuxks this up.
Could it be that both Tesla and Rivian are using the computing power of the vehicles at night, possibly for autonomy? That's one difference I can draw when comparing them against legacy OEM
