Rivian Makes Fortune’s Most Innovative Companies List for the First Time
Rivian just landed on Fortune’s “America’s Most Innovative Companies” list for 2026, and it’s the first time they’ve ever made it. What got them there is the stuff they’ve been heads-down on for the past year: the zonal electronics architecture, deeper hardware and software integration, and early work on a self-driving AI model. Not the flashy stuff, the actual engineering work.
Hybrids Are a Stall Tactic and Rivian Knows It
The auto industry just took a collective $65 billion writedown on its EV ambitions, and the response from almost every major player has been the same: bring the gas engine back, call it a hybrid, and pretend that’s progress. Ford killed the F-150 Lightning. Ram shelved its electric pickup entirely. Honda walked away from its 0 Series to the tune of $15 billion. Meanwhile, Rivian showed up at SXSW and unveiled a full lineup of pure EVs without flinching. Here’s why that matters, and why all these hybrids and range extenders are just a way of delaying the real work.
Rivian R1S Is Still the Safest Large SUV From an American Automaker
The 2026 Rivian R1S has earned its third IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation, making it the only large SUV from an American automaker to hold that title this year. I drive both the R1S and R1T regularly, and safety is always part of why I recommend them.
Rivian CEO Breaks Down the $1.25 Billion Uber Robotaxi Deal in Exclusive Interview
Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe sat down with Yahoo Finance for an exclusive interview breaking down the $1.25 billion Uber robotaxi deal and why autonomous software, not just vehicles, is the real business Rivian is building toward.
The EV Market Is Splitting in Two, and the Divide Couldn’t Be Wider
The EV market isn’t dying, it’s sorting itself out. At least 18 automakers have canceled or scaled back EV plans in the U.S., but companies like Rivian are doubling down. The difference between who’s folding and who isn’t comes down to one thing: who actually believed in this from the start.
Rivian R1 Is Getting a New Magnetic Wireless Phone Charger
Rivian is rolling out a new magnetic wireless phone charger in the R1, and we have photos of it already installed in a production unit headed to a customer. The new charger uses two magnets to keep your phone locked in place, and we tested it firsthand to see what it’s actually capable of.
Rivian’s Robotaxi Deal With Uber Comes With a Lot of Strings Attached
Rivian’s $1.25 billion Uber robotaxi deal is exciting, but only $300 million is actually guaranteed. The rest depends on hitting autonomy milestones, the Georgia factory doesn’t exist yet, and Uber has 25+ other AV partners it can fall back on. The strategy is sound. The timeline is not.
Rivian Scores $1.25 Billion Uber Deal to Deploy Autonomous R2 Robotaxis Across 25 Cities
Rivian and Uber are teaming up to deploy a fleet of fully autonomous R2 robotaxis, and the scale of this deal is hard to overstate. Uber is committing up to $1.25 billion in Rivian through 2031, with an initial $300 million locked in right after signing, and nobody saw this coming.
Why You Should Wait for the Rivian R2 With LiDAR and Gen 3 Hardware Instead of Buying the Launch Edition
I recently made the case for why the R2 Performance Launch Edition is the best value in the lineup. But starting in late 2026, Rivian will begin shipping R2s with Gen 3 hardware, LiDAR, and the custom RAP1 chip, and there is no retrofit path for early buyers. If autonomy and future-proofing matter to you, here is the other side of that argument.
