During the initial three months of the year, Rivian transacted 10,365 automobiles, marking an annual surge of 20 percent. Furthermore, its manufacturing facility in Normal, Illinois, assembled 10,236 units, which signifies a 30 percent increase when compared to the identical period last year. The firm also reiterated its projection to retail between 62,000 and 67,000 vehicles throughout the…

The robot swerved through the cafeteria of Rivian’s Palo Alto office, shelves adorned with chilled canned coffees — until it didn’t. Five minutes later, a man carefully pushed it out of everyone’s way, the words “I’m stuck” flashing yellow on the poor droid’s screen.

Earlier than RJ Scaringe based the adventure-themed EV firm Rivian, he was fascinated by bikes. Nicely, not bikes precisely. Extra like pedal-powered hybrid microcars and different bizarre, decidedly untraditional modes of other transportation. This was three years earlier than Scaringe launched Rivian, and almost 13 years earlier than the corporate ultimately got here out of stealth. By then,…

The term “software-defined vehicle” (SDV) always seemed like a bit of meaningless buzz to me. Cars have been defined by software for decades, I figured, with lots of little computers to control various electronic functions. Hell, Bendix came out with electronic fuel injection in 1956.
