Rivian said on Thursday that she plans to launch an unexpected version of her driver’s help system “within a few weeks”, and “Eyes-FF” version in 2026.
Rivian’s manual operating system will allow competing with companies such as Ford and Granrale Motors, which both have launched similar systems in the past few years. (Ford has nomineed its Bluecruise system, while GM has Supercruise.)
The launch comes at a time when Rivian expects another difficult year, largely driven by the uncertainty about the changes that the Trump administration might make on the regulatory policy. The company achieved the first positive positive profit in the fourth quarter of 2024. It was moved by an effort to reduce costs at the company level in 2024, but also an increase in software revenues and services.
Rivian’s autonomy ambitions were at the forefront when the company erupted in 2018. At that time, he was the CEO of RJ SCARINGE We are talking about dreamy scenarios Where Rivian owners can start a height and make their cars lead independently to meet them in the end. But the autonomy took a back seat in the years since then – at least publicly – as Rivian focused on completing the public subscription, releasing and expanding three different vehicles.
Rivian has now published consecutive years of building and offering about 50,000 cars, and has some breathing space-thanks to a major deal with Volkswagen that was completed late last year-to focus on offering features such as the operating system.
Rivian trains the driver assistance platform using what is known as “comprehensive” training, a similar approach to what Tesla is doing through its full program (subject to supervision). Instead of writing encrypted rules, Rivian uses data from camera sensors and radar sensors to train models that operate his driver assistance system.
It is very similar to Ford and Granur Motors, Rivian begins by allowing only highway suspension. SCARING said on Thursday that once the low version is launched in 2026, Rivian will slowly allow the driver’s assistance system to expand beyond other road types.
“In the end, the final state, we believe that overcoming the hands, the eyes should be mainly available everywhere,” said Scaring.
To reach this point, Scaringe said that Rivian evaluates “a variety of creative methods we can reach a large amount of graphics processing units without the need to spread ourselves” in order to train its self-driving models-a noticeable break from how Tesla spend billions of dollars On graphics processing units.
