YouTube App and Google Cast video streaming coming to Rivian infotainment system

This is good. Will be nice to watch Sandy Munro almost crying while defending Elon on the big screen while charging. I feel for those with kids who need something while in motion though.

So my main question, will YouTube music work when driving?

 

[JerseyGreens]

I have my kids stare out of the window during road trips...good things happen when we let our kids get bored and be curious...

This is nice. Now I just need Apple Music.

Pretty lame by my reckoning, how about something useful when actually driving (which is 99% of the time). Pablum for the hoi palloi.

INB4 that "what about x feature??" "Why not y instead of x?!"

Nevermind it already happened....

They just couldn’t give us AirPlay. Had to be Google Cast.

Google cast works on Apple Phones, Airplay doesn't work on Android. Something about walled gardens and what not

Wow, people scream and beg and cry for video apps, and then Rivian says here have Google cast so you can cast from any streaming app without us needing a native app, and the response is everyone screams and cry's it isn't good enough. Y'all suck. This is going to make charging so much better, or really any time you spend time in the car which ends up for me at least being more often than I expect (slow ass partner....)

Simple explanation is that those are NOT the same people...

FYI: these features will likely require signing up for Rivian’s data service subscription. Casting media will download via Rivian’s data plan, if it follows the casting protocol.

Charging and sitting at a ferry terminal will be so much nicer going forward! Provided the other hundreds of cars at the terminal aren't killing my bandwidth.

Yawn. Will likely never use either of these "features".
