A possibly better user experience for their customers.I gotta ask, "What does Rivian get from enabling CP/AA?"
The reality is that solving the EV navigation/charging finder issue is difficult. And I don't think that every company trying to develop their own solution is going to work as well as companies who are developing a solution for a larger customer base.
Let's take just base navigation as an example. I have not seen an in-car navigation solution that works as good as Waze/Google Maps/Apple Maps. Depending on who you are, one of them is likely to be superior. I use Waze because of how it generates routing based on traffic data from other customers. My partner can almost ONLY use Apple Maps - he refuses to look at the screen while driving and the way Apple gives audio directions ("At the next stoplight turn left") is REALLY good.
BMW, Audi, Mercedes, etc - no one has a system as good. Sorry.
Easy: They are trying to re-invent the wheel. Who has more developers and UI experts, Rivian, Tesla, or Apple? I'm pretty sure I just listed them in order of least to greatest.How does that compare with an E2E solution in which they have full control over the data, capabilities, and integration with the hardware (and software) in the vehicle to create a better, more immersive and fluid experience?
