Assuming it makes it to production seems all well thought out

A manual control assembly includes a multi-modal control mechanism. The manual control assembly further includes a connection socket for housing the multi-modal control mechanism on a steering controller of a vehicle, wherein an interface of the connection socket is connected to a control system for the vehicle. The manual control assembly further includes a first sensor and a second sensor for detecting actuation of the multi-modal control mechanism, wherein the first sensor is positioned orthogonal to the second sensor to detect a force applied to the multi-modal control mechanism. The manual control assembly further includes a control module for generating, based on the actuation, input signals to be transmitted to the control system to control one or more components of the vehicle.

One of the few (very few) frustrations I have about Rivian is how everything is buried in touchscreen menus. Seems contrary to safety studies that show taking your eyes off the road for a touch screen are a safety hazard. If this design allows largely tactile control of functions that would otherwise be touchscreen based, that's a huge win in my book.

Plus, there's a fighting chance I could convince my wife to get an R3 with this kind of control -- she hates the touchscreen more than I do, currently the only obstacle to us being a full Rivian household.

I’ve heard it explained as push is short and press is continuous, not sure if this is how they define it though.

Good lord, I wish R2 had "ride height" as pictured in the patent drawings - One of my favorite things about my R1S, but I'm pretty sure the variable height air suspension was the first to go when they were trying to make a more affordable vehicle.

Ride height adjustment and customizable power/torque. Very intriguing...

I'm not a suspension guru, is there a way to allow for suspension height adjustment without an air suspension? Obviously they can still have adaptive dampeners without the complex system from R1, but I can't see how the suspension height would be adjustable without an air system.

Perhaps an air suspension will be an option on higher price models?
