Rivian is introducing its new point-to-point assisted driving feature through an exclusive "Autonomy Early Access Program" for select US R1 Gen 2 and R2 owners. Participants in this invite-only program, slated for late 2026, will be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement before gaining access. The broader rollout of the feature isn't expected until 2027.
Rivian has issued a recall impacting nearly 99,000 of its R1T, R1S, and some pre-production R2 models. The issue stems from a potentially faulty rearview camera connection that could lead to a blank display, posing a safety risk for drivers.
Rivian has launched RivianOS 2, a significant software overhaul that standardizes its in-car operating system across both R1 and future R2 platforms. This update, version 2026.31, introduces a redesigned interface, advanced graphics powered by Unreal Engine 5, and integrates real-time alerts for police and speed cameras, alongside a deeper AI layer for enhanced vehicle intelligence.
