I've seen so many posts and comments about this the last few weeks as it's gotten colder.. and I must say it has really caught me by surprise.. Every vehicle I have ever owned with automatic climate control (except for my Rivian last year) has always turned off the dash vents and used the floor...
That is true - Google maps DOES have lane information, but it's not considered "HD" still because it's not precise down to the inch lane geometry, exact curve radius, etc. It's more of a general "there are 4 lanes that go straight here".
That said my understanding is that Google DOES have an...
The Youtube version of this has much more detail - So I recommend watching there:
If you drive a Rivian, you know exactly what I’m talking about. You get on the highway, you wait for that little icon to appear, you double-pull the stalk, and you let the R1 do the work. It’s great. Until it...
Ultimately, they're different products meant for different people and different goals. Tesla and rivian are targeting full autonomy in all situations. On the highway, all of the systems perform similarly enough that if that is your priority and only goal you're absolutely right! There's...
What comma lacks (at least for now) is 360 awareness of it's surroundings. If there's a vehicle next to you, but it's not in the range of the blind spot monitor, it will change lanes right into that vehicle. Because of this lack of 360 awareness it can't achieve full autonomy.
That said, at...
My understanding is that basic, hands on lane centering will be free for life. Anything beyond that is considered RAP+. I'm assuming we'll get more detail on this at the event
I hope they're adding towing support to. With the amount of noise people make about that I'd bet it's at least on the...
I go into way more depth in the video if you want to see my beautiful face:
With Rivian’s AI and Autonomy Day coming up on December 11th, they are making some seriously bold claims. RJ is basically betting the farm on autonomy because he thinks that in 5-10 years, a car that *can't* drive...
@mkhuffman you know I love some good testing!! This is great! Nerds of the world, unite! 🏆
Very interesting findings. This explains why on the whole I've been happy with the system. I rarely push it above 16-17
I've always felt it's got less kick than the meridian, but I've never been unhappy...
The Gen 2 exterior speakers do appear to be different. Rather than an ECU right at the speaker, it appears to be connected to a larger, centralized ECU (most likely one of the zonals). In addition to pre-defined sounds used for lock/unlock/pedestrian safety they seem to have the ability to...
