Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe on Self-Driving Tech: No Plans to License Tesla’s FSD

At Morgan Stanley’s 12th Annual Laguna Conference, Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe confirmed that the company is developing its own AI-driven self-driving technology and has no plans to license Tesla’s Full-Self Driving (FSD). Instead, Rivian is focused on creating an in-house system tailored to their vehicles, maintaining full control over design, functionality, and safety features.

While Scaringe didn’t comment on whether Rivian might license its self-driving stack in the future, interest is growing, especially after their joint venture with Volkswagen. For now, Rivian remains committed to building a unique and advanced system that could become a key differentiator in the electric vehicle market.
