Event summary
Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe announced that the company plans to introduce Tesla FSD-like supervised point-to-point driving to its Gen 2 vehicles later this year, with unsupervised driving capabilities targeted for next year. Scaringe also mentioned a longer-term goal of true driverless (robotaxi) operation, facilitated by a partnership with Uber for distribution. This autonomy push is seen as a way to create new revenue streams and potentially disrupt the market, with the R2 model drawing comparisons to the Tesla Model Y.
