Release notes

Gen 2: Lane Change on Command Expansion

Lane Change on Command is now available on more roads, not just freeways. While Universal Hands-Free is engaged, check that the lane is clear, activate the turn signal, and let your vehicle handle the rest.

Gen 2: Autonomy View Enhancements

Traffic lights and traffic cones are now shown in the Autonomy view on the driver display, so you have a more complete visualization of traffic conditions.

Search for Charging Stations

We made it more convenient to look up charging stations based on the name of a place you’re searching near, and we improved the search function when you look for chargers along a route. For example, “What charging options are near Yellowstone?” or “Can you show me chargers near Denver?”

Personalization with Memory

Use the Memory feature of Rivian Assistant to personalize responses based on preferences and past context from prior conversations with you. Memory is off by default. To turn it on, go to Settings > Apps > Rivian Assistant on the center display, or use the Rivian mobile app and go to Account > Rivian Intelligence.

NOTE

Stored details are saved per driver profile. To delete stored details, open the Rivian mobile app and go to Account > Rivian Intelligence.

Draft Service Request

Rivian Assistant can now draft service requests for you. Describe the issue and Rivian Assistant begins a draft. You can then review, edit, and submit the request in the Rivian Mobile app.
