Driver Display Improvements, Automatic Front Camera in Park Assist, Rivian Autonomy Platform Improvements, TIDAL with Dolby Atmos, SO MANY BUG FIXES, and a Spooky treat.

Driver Display Improvements

We improved the appearance and usability of the driver display.

  • Added a new navigation maneuver panel in the top left.
  • Consolidated most of the driver notifications to the left side, and added new animations.
  • Improved the volume, headlight, and wiper notifications.
  • Improved the energy graph and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) carousel panels.
  • Added a new phone and media panel to the carousel.

Automatic Front Camera in Park Assist

When Park Assist engages, the front camera view now automatically appears on the center display. This helps you to navigate tight parking spaces more confidently without taking your hands off the wheel. The setting is enabled by default. Go to Settings > Driver Assistance > Automatic Parking Camera to disable it.

TIDAL with Dolby Atmos

TIDAL now includes Dolby Atmos!

    • When the driver and front passenger exit the vehicle, and close the doors but don’t lock them, the vehicle now starts to sleep within 5 seconds.
    • When the vehicle starts to sleep, tap on the center or rear display within 1 minute to wake it back up.
  • Audio
    • Fixed an issue that prevented mono streams from playing.
    • Fixed issues that caused momentary interruptions during playback.

  • Fixed an issue that caused a High Beam Assist unavailable notification to appear when the vehicle woke from sleep.
  • Added a notification that provides more information on the engagement of the rear drive system in auto-AWD (All-Wheel Drive).
  • Added a notification in the Rivian mobile app 2.15.0 or later to inform you if an outstanding balance is preventing plugging and charging the vehicle.
  • Fixed an issue that caused the loss of GPS during a Navigation software update.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented automated garage door prompt from appearing on the driver display.
  • Gear Guard Live Cam
    • Improved the session start reliability.
    • Improved the streaming reliability, and with the Rivian mobile app 2.15.0 or later, the stream now defaults to the last camera selected.

It’s nearly time to trick or treat,
And here you’ll find something neat.
Near Hallow’s eve when the moon is clear,
Spooky settings will soon appear!
