I think Rivian still does the splicing thing where they limit the file size. I do believe I saw this as well when I was trying to use video footage to prove I wasn't speeding.
Sadly the video footage proved I was.
:-(
Rivian could have made the whole thing a lot easier had they overlayed the...
Yeah, but this is a Rivian.
It barely moves when hit.
Will be interesting to see when the last recording was. If it was hours before then its likely that the it was some SW issue preventing recording.
Some clarifications
The USB drive that is plugged in isn't used for backup. It's the primary drive that's used for recording.
You can see if its working by looking at the icon on the screen.
I have seen some cases where it wasn't working where I had to reseat the USB drive or do an...
Didn't the OP answer this?
If you like driving than the R1T is
If you find driving to miserably boring and you're willing to trade your life away to avoid it then the Model Y is the clear winner. It's a certified killer.
I agree with the majority of the points the OP makes EXCEPT for everything to do with FSD.
FSD is a lie and its been a lie since 2016.
Basically the OP traded in his little lie for the biggest lie going on in the automotive world by one of the biggest liars of all time.
I get why.
Why the...
Thanks for clarifying.
My understanding is the old title was viewed as click bait so the title was changed.
The new title is factually incorrect as nothing in the linked article says the driver is blamed.
Nothing I've read since then has brought to light any new info as to what happened...
Do you have a news article link?
I'm not seeing anything that says the driver is being charged with a google search of San Fernando Valley school or Campbell Hall School.
I don't believe this particular private school even has buses.
I do often wonder the same thing for public schools with buses. It seems like a huge waste of a useful resource.
The only times my parents drove me to school was when "my alarm failed to go off"
They made their annoyance at me...
I didn't feel like you were targeting me.
I was trying to make sense of what you wrote based on things written in this thread. I didn't think anyone in this thread had an agenda or a personal bias.
It is an isolate incident, but I feel like its preventable. It's not a gotcha, but has room for...
Where are you getting the "so many willing to blame"?
Where is this coming from? This thread is only 4 pages.
My response to this thread was a question to Rivian about whether they planned on implementing a feature Tesla has where it prevents the car from accelerating into a pedestrian or car...
Irrelevant to who?
Accident investigators?
Owners of that vehicle make/model?
General Audience?
The way I see it -> The vehicle type is very relevant as some vehicles will be more prone to unintended acceleration than others. In fact in some vehicles the driver isn't supposed to be able to...
Perhaps instead of writing them you could write Rivian to ask them why their collision avoidance didn't prevent this kind of tragic accident. Can efforts be made with the Gen2 ADAS system to prevent this incident?
In cases like this a vehicles UX and safety systems play a significant role...
The 2025 Rivian is a Gen 2 model so it should be capable of obstacle-aware acceleration that greatly reduces acceleration if it detects an object in front of the car particularly at low speeds.
I will say that I turned this feature off when I had a Tesla that supported this. I did because I...
It really comes down to whether the vehicle involved should be mentioned in a new article about a tragic accident.
I would argue that the vehicle type should be mentioned. That in itself its just information about what was involved.
We know a few things from the vehicle type and year.
That...
I'm not seeing any issue with the article.
The title is "Teenage boy killed, 5 others hurt in parking lot crash at L.A School"
The only parts in the article that even mentions Rivian is "When the driver of a green 2025 Rivian SUV struck a 15 year old boy as he was walking between vehicles."...
