Previously the director of software engineering at Waymo, Zoox before that, and Google before that, if you're wondering Seems like a good get. I hope Rivian continues to keep their ambitions realistic in this space.

(He interned at Microsoft just a couple years before I joined... I guess I gotta get my rear in gear.)

Nice. Does Rivian do all their software in the bay area? It's interesting how many offices Rivian has worldwide.

Most. App and web development are in Vancouver, BC I believe.

Hopeful to see improvements to the driver+ software. Just using it for basic cruise control is glitchy and overall not a good experience.
