Rivian will roll out supervised point-to-point driving later this year on all Gen 2 vehicles and the upcoming R2 model. The system is described as similar to another company's supervised driving software. The company stated that unsupervised operation, allowing drivers to take their eyes off the road, is scheduled for next year.
Development of full driverless capability without anyone in the vehicle has been underway for some time.
Rivian said the driverless technology could support new business models, including robotaxi services. The company partnered with Uber to focus on technology development while using the partner's distribution channel. Officials described Uber as having unmatched scale and reach for such services.
