Go chime should go off only at controlled intersections

[InTheMatrix]

Weird. Mine seems to behave exactly as you would want it. When the car ahead get far enough away, basically 2 seconds longer than most drivers, it chimes. I haven't been getting false positives. I like it.

Maybe mine is just glitchy I have a 23 gen 1 R1S.

As it seems to be mostly the case, Rivian experts should check how things are done right by checking out Tesla or talking to Tesla experts, and learning from them.

Moreso, I think this was created to assist the folks who cannot stay off their phones for even a minute of waiting to turn.

Alternate take; chimes like this actually reinforce inattentive behavior because they make it less dangerous/annoying/honkable to behave badly. Now, you get a head's up when your inattentive behavior is blocking traffic, meaning you may as well doomscroll for the 15 seconds of the red light.

At any rate, I've only heard the ding one time since that update. I'll turn it off if it actually starts making a racket. (It probably doesn't ding because I actually take driving seriously and pay attention while doing it. Car deaths are one of the most common way to die in our country, after all!)

Unless a Rivian engineer is test driving the Tesla (which auto manufacturers do all the time), that's the only way Rivian will be able to "see how things are done." There's not going to be any indiciation on how the technology/sensors work. Tesla will also not share the details unless Rivian is able to somehow obtain the information through shady means.

Source: work in automotive cybersecurity. There are antitrust laws between companies and you cannot share this type of technology/info. In fact, most companies will employ specific technologies to track data leaving the company to ensure things like this don't happen. My company even buys vehicles and takes them apart to learn from them but you're not going to see programming/code.

Thank you. I know. Mine was merely a figure of spech conveying that Tesla seems to know what it is doing and Rivian, well, it seems to come out short on implementing like features.

Yep, agreed. Coming from a '22 Model S to a '23 Rivian, there are certainly a lot of things Tesla does better.

Mine doesn't seem to do anything. It was on by default, and I also toggled it off/on to check.

On my Tesla I believe it detects if you are "attentive" meaning you are looking forward. If you are, then it doesn't notify you. If your eyes aren't on the road, it will chime.

On the Rivian, I tried multiple ways. It never chimed. Didn't try a reboot tho.

FSD is the only feature that checks up on you to see if attentive, and that is only for those Teslas with in-cabin camera.

On my Model S, it chimes only when it sees traffic light turn green. I'll have to check again later on today.

It works at traffic lights changing to green only. In my years of driving Teslas, have never heard it chime from "several cars back," and it does seem to chime only if vehicle sees light changing to green..

At any rate, anybody relying primarily on a chime to make driving decisions has real, big issues to solve first and probably should not be driving at all.

Straight from my Model 3’s user manual:

• Green Traffic Light Chime: In Canada and U.S.: If on, a chime will sound when you are waiting at a red traffic light and the light turns green. If you are not actively using Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and are waiting at a red light with a car in front of you, the chime sounds when the car ahead of you advances.

And from Google:

“It also alerts you when the vehicle ahead of you advances, allowing you to proceed if not using Autopilot.”

I’ve had it chime many times when behind a large truck and the car cannot see the traffic light.

Well, then .

I guess I just never noticed it did that just because car in front started to move; seemed tied to traffic light change.

Before today I was not a fan of the go chime, as I think it is unnecessary. But today a funny thing happened: I was in line to take a left out of a strip mall into a busy street. There was a car in front of me, but no stop light. The car went, and then my car chimed “go!”. So, I instinctively put my foot on the accelerator, only to realize that there were fast cars coming from the left. Nor was a lane clear for me to turn into! No, not safe to go.

So now my opinion of the go chime has changed: it’s not useless, it’s actually kind of dangerous. Like induced jaywalking. The car tells you to go even when it is unsafe to go. I will now turn it off on both my Rivians. Drivers are always ultimately responsible for driving safely no matter what the car does. However, I don’t need any bad influences. Not having a go chime is not dangerous. Having one can be.

Come on! You are still required to pay attention to your surroundings and make good driving decisions. The “go chime” is simply supposed to be a useful reminder to pay attention should your attention drift while you are stopped…It’s not a signal to mindlessly hit the accelerator.
If you can’t get past that, you probably shouldn’t be operating a motor vehicle until they are fully autonomous

 

[RivAW]

The Go Chime is not an indicator that it is safe to go. It’s meant to get your attention that traffic is moving ahead of you after being stopped behind another car for a bit. You are still responsible for checking traffic conditions before moving.

Yes!

 

[RivAW]

Go chime is a nice idea if implemented correctly. On Tesla, it goes off when red light changes to green. My R1S go chime goes off at seemingly random times including when I'm already going.

If you read the release notes you would know that Rivian’s version for now is tied to the (or a) vehicle ahead of you and not (at least yet) capable of identifying signal lights

At the moment the Rivian “go chime” is based solely on vehicle movement in front of you and is not capable of identifying signal lights (which is what Tesla does). I like the way Tesla’s works better but the general point is that OP needs to a) understand how the update works and b) pay attention to surroundings

I agree with that statement. Haha

Look, I'm a Rivian fan, but if "go chime" goes off when I'm moving but the car in front of me is moving faster, that's not really a thing.
