In this video by David Tong, we get a first look and hands-on experience with Google Cast for iOS and Android devices, coming soon to Rivian vehicles. It’s a highly anticipated feature for Rivian owners. Additionally, a native YouTube app is set to be available on the center screen, enhancing the in-car entertainment experience.
This will be a great enhancement to the system, it’s just super disappointing that you will eventually be required to pay a subscription fee to get it to work. Why not let the vehicle join the device network instead of limiting it to the soon to be paid Rivian LTE network. The idea of paying yet another subscription fee just to use features in my car is really off-putting. I hope there will be some sort of no cost option in the future.
