I've seen similar setups on other vehicles here in the US but the vehicles are usually marked either by the DOT or some other research firm to analyze the road condition. They're also usually nothing fancy, like a prius or something else thats boring lol. It would be weird to use the Rivian to do this so part of me feels like this is not the case here.

They look like wheel force transducers for measuring road load in testing.

And it might not actually be testing by or for Rivian. It could be a competitor benchmarking.
