There is a similar update for R1 vehicles coming out at the same time. Once R1 gets OS 2.0 they may just all one update from there.

More likely to be the first step to UHF 2.0 which is supposed to release in Q3 (hopefully September release) which adds support for stop signs and stop lights.

The current Gen 2 R1S and Gen 2 R2 (non-Lidar version) will be capable of point-to-point but will never be able to go eyes-off.
Only Lidar-version and beyond (Gen 3) will be capable of eyes-off which I believe is the bare minimum for L3.
One day, when it's my turn, I am debating between leasing and buying. The price isn't the issue but the capabilities.
I know Rivian has stated the R2 with Lidar will be capable of eyes-off, hands-off point to point driving. Have they stated or promised its ability beyond that?
I am pretty...

No new autonomy updates in the 2026.03 February update. Next month will likely be bug fixes, Rivian assistant, and texting. Does anyone anticipate any autonomy updates before they start charging us? If not, do they truly this the current suite is $50/mo worth?
I am guessing no one here knows for sure, but if I purchase Autonomy+ for my VIN at $2,500 - will that protect me from inevitable price increases once more autonomy features come out?
I haven't followed Tesla, how did they handle this situation?
I used the Comma 3X on my Hyundai Ioniq 5 and it was great for lane centering but highway driving it really struggled (I used SunnyPilot). Acceleration from stop was slow and braking was poor coming from a highway speed to a complete stop. I still recommend it for those looking for hands-free on...
I am interested in leasing the Rivian R1S and want the CCS1 version. I did a test drive recently and they mentioned there will likely be a sale or deal for leasing the CCS1 version once the NACS version comes out.
Does anyone have ideas of what a deal like that may look like? They also...
Didn't know this about the Rivian (not a Rivian owner). Will take note and take a picture next time I see it.
I see it frequently here in Chicago (River North).
