Latest OTA Updates Adds Surround View Camera

[Inkedsphynx]

The surround view in the Bolt is awesome... I used to literally park 2" or less from the curb without ever damaging my rims. The secret was.. Chevy put a dedicated straight down facing cam in each of the outside rear view mirrors which gives a spectacular down view without software stitching. I've never seen a better implementation than was done in the Bolt. With that said, happy Rivian has come up with something to help prevent curbing our $500+ rims every time we try to park.

The other great thing the Bolt had was a front bumper cam (right above the license plate frame) which enabled you to get up nice and tight while pulling in to parking spots.

Not exactly unique in the space. Both my current LR and last one had the down-view side-view-mirror cameras, and both have 360 views utilizing them (and the Defender uses them for tire monitors when cameras are showing offroad mode).

I'd be shocked if 360 view and the camera configuration mentioned doesn't become standard kit for every vehicle within the next few years.

I'm happy the 360 view is there, and I'm curious to use it; I've never had a vehicle with it.

As someone who has driven large & long full size pickups for awhile, I have to back into most urban parking spaces & in garages. Even now that I have a backup camera, I still prefer to use my mirrors until I need to see how close I'm getting to what's behind me.

I have a feeling I'll still end up doing things the "old fashioned" way...

It's handy for making sure you're centered in those pesky white lines.
