Not well enough that you'd want to use it. Lukas showed it to me and it won't go faster than the speed limit signs it detects because he hasn't figured out how to use the set speed signal from the wheel. It's not usable right now and may never be.
I haven't noticed mine giving more room but when the system is active, you can nudge it to move over and it won't disengage the system. It smoothly takes back over without further interaction.
I hear you but that money was well spent. I've met Lukas and he's a great dude and wouldn't have been able to do this without your support. I'm meeting with him this morning to see if we can find some additional signals from the Rivian so he's still hard at work on improving the software. We all...
Yes, that's going on now. From my understanding, the roadblocks for Openpilot on the Rivian are figuring out the rest of the commands Rivian is using to manage speed and detect the blind spots so they can use Openpilot for distance control. A little more tuning for the wheel torque would...
Agreed. Not sure what the play is here. Maybe they'll fold a subscription into connect+ and this gives them a high anchor so they can say they're offering massive discounts to subscribers while keeping other vehicles out of the RAN stations.
OpenPilot on the Rivian: A Game-Changer
After spending eight hours driving with OpenPilot on my Rivian, I can confidently say that it’s just short of magical. It has completely transformed my driving experience, and I will never buy another vehicle without it. Compared to Rivian’s Driver+...
It depends how much you charge. You can easily do the math or ask ChatGPT to do it for you but I’ll give you an example. The RAN in Firegaugh on the I5 costs 0.63 per kWh. The EA charger in the same lot is 0.56 per kWh without a membership and 0.42 with a membership that costs $7.
So, for a...
But they’re less or no more reliable than Superchargers, less available, in worse spots than EA, and more expensive. None of your reasons make sense. At least on my road trips on the West Coast, the legacy networks are everywhere and now cost less than RAN.
They shouldn’t but at least where I live, RAN has the highest rates. Driving down I-5 in California, RAN is more expensive than EA or Tesla and that’s before any membership discounts. There aren’t enough RAN stations for a subscription to work so I don’t see why anyone would ever charge there again.
Gen 1 development is over. It’s never coming. Dead platform. I hope you at least got preorder pricing. Good luck on the class action, you’ll need it. I certainly expected them to provide hands free like they advertised but it’s not going to happen. If you want hands free, buy a Comma 3X for...
Remember when Rivian promised hands free driving for Gen 1? I do. With Openpilot I get it now with the ability to use the assistance on every road. To me, it’s well worth the cost of the hardware. The current Gen 2 hardware will never be eyes off.
I have a simple solution for all your cold weather Rivian troubles. It will fix every example you've listed. It's so simple. Very simple. You just have to move to California but only the parts near the coast. Like Irvine where the R1T was designed or near me in Sacramento. You will never have to...
