Rivian is hosting its second Autonomy & AI Day on December 9 in San Francisco. Here's a look back at last year's event and why point to point should take center stage.

Rivian's point-to-point driving starts reaching early adopters at the end of this year, with the full Gen 2 R1 and R2 fleet following next year. James Philbin shared the timeline at the Evercore ADAS Forum today.

NHTSA is investigating Comma AI's aftermarket driver assistance devices after five crashes involving stopped vehicles left three people dead. Openpilot officially supports the Gen 1 R1S and R1T, so plenty of Rivian owners are running this hardware right now.

Rivian reaffirmed its Q3 second shift, late 2026 point to point autonomy and Q4 exit rate gross profit target at Goldman Communacopia yesterday. New details covered Gen 3 hardware pricing, RAP1 performance and how Rivian filters customer driving data.

Uber CFO Balaji Krishnamurthy says RJ Scaringe gave him a preview of the upcoming version of Rivian Autonomy+, which drove from Sunnyvale to Cupertino and back without issue. He also traded in his car for a Launch Edition R2.

Point to point assisted driving starts a limited rollout later this year, and Rivian is aiming for a broad customer rollout in 2027. Here is what the company said, and what it still has not said.

A class action lawsuit filed in California accuses Rivian of misrepresenting the autonomous driving capabilities of the first-generation R1T and R1S, claiming the company promised Level 3 hands-free driving the Gen 1 vehicles will never deliver. Here is what the complaint alleges, plus why this one hits differently with R2 and Autonomy+ on the horizon.

RJ Scaringe went on Masters of Scale and put fresh dates on Rivian's autonomy rollout, with supervised Point-to-Point arriving this year and eyes off driving next year. Here is what he confirmed on the VW deal, Uber robotaxis, and Mind Robotics, plus where I land on whether the timeline actually holds.

I talked R2 autonomy with Rivian's James Philbin at the media event, from UHF 2.0 and automatic parking to point to point, and walked away thinking the buy now versus wait question has a clearer answer than it used to.

Universal Hands-Free 2.0 arrives in Q3 and finally takes the system off the highway, adding stop light and stop sign response, automatic lane changes on surface streets, Auto Park, and On-Ramp to Off-Ramp routing. It is the groundwork Rivian needs before Point to Point shows up in late 2026.
