2023.46 Software Update Details (Highway Assist / Driver+ / Navigation & More...)

[Chiqaine]

The Highway Assist with lane change is awesome, I wish I had that on last week's road trip. I also definitely experience the "vehicle location in the Navigation app inaccurately jumps forward when the vehicle is slowing to a stop" on a regular basis, so I wouldn't consider that one "rare".

I really wish they would have signaled a Xmas theme push though, my kids are really hoping it comes this year, and I certainly hope we get to use it for more than a week or two! Rivian peeps I hope you are reading this...don't let the kids down!!

How about just hands and mind on driving while driving.

Dark-FX, I think you missed my point. I do not text while I am driving. Instead, I pull over, park, read the text, and respond. This is becoming a pain, especially since my other car, a 2017 Honda, has hands-free texting.

And I think you missed mine.

Not texting at all while driving is the safest.

I agree. See my post to Dark-FX for what I was trying to get across.

Next update details …..

https://rivian.software/2023-46/

Check out these new features, improvements, and bug fixes found in Rivian Update 2023.46

Highway Assist – Auto Reengagement After Lane Change
Highway Assist now automatically reengages after you change lanes.

• While Highway Assist is active, use your turn signal and then change lanes.
• When you center the vehicle in the new lane, the turn signal turns off and Highway Assist reengages automatically.

Navigation – Add Stops Along Your Route
You can now add multiple stops along your route and during trip planning for a customized navigation experience. Also, you can use the Rivian mobile app and Google Maps to send a multi-stop trip directly to your vehicle.

• Before you go or during active navigation guidance, on the center display, choose Open to open your Trip Details with the option to Add Stop.
• During active guidance, choose Add to add your next stop
• There are multiple ways to edit your trip:
  • Swipe to remove a stop, or choose Delete when you are editing your trip.
  • Drag to reorder stops.
  • Choose Edit at the top of the Trip Details screen to edit your trip.
• You can also add charging stops, which are shown as lightning bolts on the map. Select a charging location and choose Add Stop.

Mobile – Add Stops And Save Trips
Now with the Rivian mobile app 2.5.0 and later, you can plan multi-stop trips in advance, save them, and send them to your vehicle.

• To access these features in the mobile app, go to the Explore tab.
• Go to the map to create a trip or choose Add in the Saved Trips section.
• Choose Save to add a trip to your saved trips.
• You can now add stops to a trip by choosing Add stop.
  • Drag-and-drop to reorder stops.
  • You can also swipe left to remove a saved trip.

Clear Vehicle Settings
For your privacy, Clear Settings removes personal information and preferences from your vehicle. It also reverts user settings to default factory settings.

• To access this feature on the center display, go to Settings > Service > Clear Settings.
• To learn more about transferring vehicle ownership, scan the QR code in the Clear Settings screen.

Service Mode
Service Mode makes it easier for service technicians to perform maintenance on your vehicle. On the center display, go to Settings > Service > Service Mode.

Additional Improvements

• Charging
  • Fixed an issue with the vehicle restarting scheduled charging after it was manually stopped.
  • Fixed an issue in which a charge session shows as completed before reaching the user-defined charge limit.
• To avoid splashing passengers when entering or exiting the vehicle, now the front wipers temporarily pause while the vehicle is in Park and either front door is open. Wipers resume when the doors are closed.
• Fixed a rare instance in which the Brake Region button in Drive Modes didn’t display setting options.
• Fixed an issue in which the center display showed an incorrect screen when exiting seat calibration.
• Fixed a rare issue in which the vehicle location in the Navigation app inaccurately jumps forward when the vehicle is slowing to a stop.
• Fixed a rare issue in which the Mobile app incorrectly shows the doors as open and the range as zero.
• Infotainment
  • Fixed an issue on the center display in which the phone panel didn’t disappear after ending a call.
  • Fixed an issue in which the Play button on the Media panel doesn’t respond when the queue is empty.
  • Fixed an issue in which, after restarting the software, the Radio panel is blank until you select a radio station.
  • Fixed a rare issue in which declining to sync contacts during Bluetooth pairing doesn’t dismiss the Loading contacts message.

Very excited about the "adding stops". It was frustrating when we went to Disneyland and I wasn't able to add stops. We would get to the charging station.....start the charge and then I would navigate to the next one and send it to the R1T. Being able to add stops is great. I am hoping they will add the ability to set up a plan in the ABRP app or webpage and then send it to the R1T/S or your phone and then send it to the R1T/S.

I agree. See my post to Dark-FX for what I was trying to get across.

I do the same if I need to respond to something (call/ text/ etc), which I why I have never had the need for voice texting capability in any vehicle.

He said what he said because your question is the most commonly asked (and answered) question on this forum. He's, understandably, a little tired of the question...

That said, the answer to your initial question is that this is an internal release. It will roll out to the general population in a few weeks. That roll out is just that; it is released in groups with a pause between them. No, you can't force an update. No, you can't opt in for earlier access. Only Rivian knows what the real timeline is and when you'll get notified of an update. The roll out to owners takes a few weeks to reach everyone so, no, you shouldn't be concerned about not having the latest release yet.

I suspect the soft reset is vastly less risky than applying that update in the first place, but I agree it is probably not zero risk, so definitely your call on what you are comfortable with ;-).

Is that you, Tony?

Dogs don’t text?

Dogs don’t text?

I assume they do it while I'm not looking and they just don't want us to know yet. They are planning to overthrow humanity and they want us to be surprised when it happens.

Thank you for taking the time to explain that. I wouldn't have asked if I knew. Now that I know I won't ask again.

Maybe instead of a "here we go" - there can be a creation of a pinned thread that talks about software releases.... That way new owners have access to it and the release threads can focus on what's being delivered etc.

Totally understandable question, and we aren't blaming you for asking. I hope this doesn't dissuade you from asking questions in the future.

 

[COdogman]

People have brought that up too. I think because of how much commentary there is about each release the thinking was the pinned thread would get very confusing. Some are asking about the last release, others asking about the current, next releases. That doesn't happen if each release has its own thread. It does make it harder to find the threads about previous releases...

 

[not_a_car_guy]

Is that you, Tony?

Not sure who Tony is, but "no" in any case. I'm a relatively new rivian owner and I joined the forums after I received my truck a couple of months ago at the suggestion of the rivian employee who gave me the 1 hour tour of the vehicle when I picked it up. I wish I had bothered to discover the forums earlier though!
