Our graphics are already powered by Unreal Engine...

For some reason I thought they were powered by android?

That's the base OS (Android Automotive). Unreal isn't an OS.

They were already Unreal Engine. At least that's what the guy said in my demo drive in February before I got my gen1 R1S in March.

It has new NVIDIA chips that 10 times faster than Gen1 Rivian...

 

[PappaBolt]

As a former insider I can confirm this is not new

 

[SwampNut]

The open source credits are right on your center display, probably in the service section I think, go read them to see what runs the car. Unreal is not new.

Yup, but I think they also said the processor is not new.

Essentially, it's just a new GPU, and it's not clear if that GPU is part of the infotainment or part of a seperate ADAS module (I thought it was mentioned, but I don't see that). According to this article the GPU is in the "Autonomy Compute Module", not the infotainment.
