What does the "4 days left" reference?

The website now says "Early 2025" - so I'm assuming this is not coming in 4 days
Not sure you can correlate early 2025 with January, usually something more like first 1/3rd is considered early.

Not sure that is lidar testing, it looks like the rig they use to map the roads.

... That's what I was saying. It's not going to be January haha 😆

Agree - I'll bet they're doing mapping for the "hands free" or maybe "eyes free" system ...


Or maybe it's not a Rivian owned vehicle at all haha

It used to say January 2025 in marking copy, adding ‘expected’ in front as well as well as moving to ‘early 2025’ puts us firmly back to the norm of Rivian time - so ~September?


Edit: what people who are blocking x.com are missing from this thread is the following screenshot from rivian's website which was quietly changed recently:

I have a road trip planned for March. Maybe I'll get lucky, and this will be done by then.

That would make more sense if they are using a Gen 1 to capture (even though it may not matter in the context of an external LiDAR attachment, I can only assume they would be capturing with a Gen 2 if they were gathering something specific to the Gen 2).

More than anything, I hope this means that ADAS is coming to more roads (though I think the bigger want here by most of us is just to have lane centering enabled on unmapped roads).

I think you meant to say Gen 2 in your title?
Its a Gen1 body - and mostly gen1 lights etc. (is the center light bar missing or blacked out?) - its probably a gen 'frankenstein' under the body.

It has a manufacturers plate. It is a Rivian vehicle. And it is probably mapping the road, not testing lidar with the idea of at some point adding lidar to the production line.
