Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
I experienced this a few weeks ago. Rivian addressed it during a service appointment. It's been working fine since the wheel alignment. I don't have the 2022.39.1 release yet, but I'm looking forward to trying out the updated Driver+ changes.
Every software team has their own criteria. I can say that on the 2022.35 cycle I didn't get mine for over a week after it started rolling out. On this one I got it today (day 2). So, it may be random selection of the fleet. They may also have a specific number of R1T and R1S they push to in each wave. This is pretty common practice in SW. Even companies like Google, Facebook, etc won't push out a new feature to all users at once.
When we put winter tires on our Model X, the lane centering ability with Autopilot noticeably degraded. I think the alignment went out. I wonder if all the ping pong behavior with Rivians that has been reported has something to do with the seemingly pervasive alignment problems owners are having.
It’s not the alignment
Interesting perspective. Maybe that’s it, but my impression was that Driver+ doesn’t “aim far enough ahead”. It’s always felt to me like a new driver who is trying to stay in their lane by looking at the end of their hood, rather than looking down the road. Aim further away, and you’ll not dart around in your lane so much. The end effect might be similar to what you suggest. Though if you have a sharp turn, you need that high P gain. That’s why I feel like it’s more of a “looking further ahead” thing.
I don't think there is any correlation between the display and what the system actually "sees" and behaves upon. The display is just for show/entertainment and most vehicles don't even have it. But yeah, it sometimes thinks cars are motorcycles, and large vehicles are big box trucks. But it's irrelevant to the system and how it works.
Fair enough. I also think there is an element of new company bias. I find myself babysitting it more than I did in other systems, not for any objective reason for how it behaves, but merely because it's Rivian and not Audi, etc.
