We all got the Autonomy+ trial that ended after a couple of months a while ago. After it was supposed to end, I tried using it and confirmed that it wasn't working anymore. Rivian said it would stop and obviously I did not sign up for it. No problem.
Fast forward to yesterday. I'm on a several hundred mile road trip and I'm using the 'free' cruse control. At one point I somehow pull the stalk twice while activating the cruse. I immediately notice the steering starts feeling tighter/stiffer than before. Looking at the screens I realize the universal hands free has activated. Which is weird because I never signed up for it. Curious, I tried to a lane change on command and that did not work. So seems I now can use just the universal hands free.
Is this some thing that Rivian changed that I missed (very possible)? Or maybe a glitch that for once works in my favor?
