Ralph replied to the thread Self driving update: Gen 2 and Gen 3 Autonomy on R2 should be similar for a "couple of years".A very cherry picked route might account for it.

I still don't know why able bodied people would even want this anyway. Put a blind person behind the wheel if you want to convince me.

Ralph replied to the thread Wassym Bensaid DECODER interview: AI Rivian Assistant, Apple CarPlay, VW Joint Venture.Although this comment contains a grain of truth, I'll just throw it in the "false equivalency" file for what I hope are obvious reasons.

So you're saying your posts shouldn't be taken seriously? Got it. I'll keep that in mind.

To be clear though, that's not Rivian's price - it's Tesla's price that Rivian is passing thru. That's what non-Tesla owners pay regularly.
