Story: Introducing Rivian Assistant & Rivian Unified Intelligence. Unlock hands-free utility with Connect+

[elfordon]

You can advance the song with the buttons on the steering wheel. Voice helps prevent having to go into the main screen which is distracting - the steering wheel buttons are not distracting.

As the passenger, voice commands are easier than reaching over to the steering wheel.

So you have to have Connect +? Booo. I'm sure it'll be laggy as hell on Gen 1 anyway.

50 cents a day in your piggy bank?

Every time I activate the assistant I hear the hollow boop when Victor Frankensteen taps Eyegore's hump.

Got it.
I thought you meant there was a way to force a software update to the Rivian.

No. You cannot force an a update to your truck unless it has already downloaded and is scheduled to install. Mine was scheduled for 4 AM tomorrow morning and I told it to update now.

Rivian Assistant seems to work great with Spotify. I told it to play an artist and it completed successfully. I also told it to navigate home and that worked as well.

This is an awesome update.

Can we turn it off if we don't want it?

I have zero desire for any of these features.

This update has been amazing so far. Everything I could think of to ask Rivian Assistant to do it did it correctly and in a timely manner. Very impressive!!

You do not need to turn it off just don’t turn it on.

It's not laggy on Gen 1.

Damn, no RCS support for messaging?

This finally got me to subscribe to Connect+. Being my R1T is more a daily, around town ride, the other features of Connect+ just did not seem worth it since I would not use them much. But I can see using Rivian Assistant frequently if it pans out as described. It Tipped the balance for me.

 

[Time2Roll]

I turned off my auto update after the last one. Hopefully no download for at least a week.

Blame Google for that. They lock down RCS to only the Google messaging app. No 3rd party is allowed access.
