Rivian Software Update 2024.39 Halloween Mode

Additional Improvements

Happy Halloween! It’s that time of year again and we’ve got a few tricks and treats for you and the family to enjoy!

• Use the Rivian mobile app version 2.15.0 or later to pick out a costume for your vehicle.
• Choose your favorite spooky accent lighting.
• Haunt the neighbors with eerie lock sounds.
• Look out for some 3D surprises.

Car Costumes

Have you ever wanted to fight crime with one of the coolest cars in TV history as your partner? Get ready to engage turbo boost as your R1 puts on its K.I.T.T. costume! Or is time travel more your thing? Go back to the future when your R1 puts on its time machine costume! Perhaps you’ve been wanting a haunted house in your driveway to spook the neighbors? Transform your R1 into the perfect Trunk or Treat mobile to have a frightfully good time while handing out candy to your local zombies! To use car costumes:

• Place the vehicle in P (Park).
• Make sure to have more than 30 miles of range.
• Turn off Pet Mode and Shipping Mode.
• Make sure to have WiFi or cellular reception on the vehicle and on your phone.

While car costumes are on:

• Vehicle range will decrease.
• Proximity lock and unlock are disabled.
• The horn is disabled.

Turn off car costume from the mobile app or by pressing the brake pedal. Restarting the vehicle or the software will also turn it off.

NOTE

We addressed a corner case with car costumes on Gen 2 vehicles.

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.

Rivian Autonomy Platform Improvements

• Our new Model Predictive Controller (MPC) improves steering comfort in Highway Assist by providing much smoother and more natural transitions when centering in or changing lanes.
• We improved vehicle detection and visualization on the driver display.
• We removed the ability to turn on Lane Departure Warnings and Lane Keeping Assist in Snow mode as these features are not available in the mode.
