I have noticed this behavior. I chalked it up to a consecutive safety attitude of the designers. Could also come from a safety bias among the training data from the professional drivers that created it. After the curent system is a drivrr assyst only. I'm guessing that will happen less often as...

Seems to be a common problem. There is no easy solution. Perhaps the solution lies in the profile protection feature that came with the Rivian Assistant. It's not automatic and will require an extra step in starting driving. Perhaps Ai can make a better guess about who is driving based on...

Setting up UBW for the phone key disables the Bluetooth phone connection. Check to see if your phonr has UWB capability. If you perchance have a Samsung phone, there is a known bug in Samsung Wallet that causes problems. UWB services are managed by Samung⁷Wallet. Turn in a service ticket.

Interesting, this application references a provisional application from 2024. A provisional application requires no specific format or specific content. Provisional applications are not examined or published. The USPTO just keeps them on file. What it can do is to establish a priority date...

A patent confers an exclusive right. That means that, for a limited time, you can prevent others from practicing your invention. Often, companies seek a patent for just that reason--to exclude competition. Another reason is to keep others--patent trolls--from obtaining a similar patent then...

Axial I drove a 2003 MINI Cooper for 22 years. I now have a 2026 Rivian R1S Quad Launch Edition. 'nuf said.

I agree that Gary assistant would be cool. Audio response voices are designed to be easily understood by most people even the presence of noise and distractions. As an experienced ham radio operator, I find that female voices are better for cutting through noise. I understand that there might...

I can't imagine anything more annoying.

Here in Utah we have a (one time) option to pay a fixed EV road maintainable state tax or an amount based on mileage driven. It's accessed at registration renewal. Please consider that because EVs are heavier than ICE vehicles, they are rougher on roads. Perhaps a higher tax is fair.

Cool it does have potential security issues like any soft top. It is likely to admit more ro road noise. I prefer a solid metal roof myself. BTW the MINI Cooper Convertible.has a sun roof. Its top rides on frame that deploys from the rear. It is pleated so the top can remain open to the sky...

Amen

This normal. If Autonomy disengages because it detects a fault, it is disabled until you put the vehicle in to park, then start again. This behavior csn be caused by failing to take control when requested, failing to pay attention when prompted or vigorously overriding of the Autonomy system...

I saw advertisement somewhere from a compsny that sells composite replacements for the roof glass. The interior side has insulation and looks like the headliner. Has anyone installed this and would like to comment?

Rear doors must have child locks that prevent the door from being opened from the inside.. I suppose that you vould add s mechanical relessee to the rear door, but UT here would need to be an inaccessible selectable override switch. It could be mechanical like the levers on the edge of many...

It is a common misconception that heating from sunshine is caused by infrared. Actually it comes from all wavelengths. The window films blockescaping. But pass other wavelengths that heat surfaces on the interior. These surfaces wil then emit infrared radiation The film blocks the infrared...
