About the company

Rivian designs and builds electric pickup trucks, SUVs, and delivery vans, pairing off-road ability with electronics and software it develops itself. In 2021, its R1T became the first fully electric pickup truck on the US consumer market, ahead of larger rivals such as Ford and Tesla. It makes the R1T pickup, the R1S and R2 SUVs, and commercial vans in Normal, Illinois, and sells them directly online and in its own stores rather than through dealers. Its vehicles run on Rivian's own software, which gains features through updates sent over the internet, and most revenue comes from vehicle sales, with service and optional software adding more. Rivian was founded in 2009 and is based in Irvine, California.

Rivian stock hits 12-month low at $12.34, down 30.5% in three months, as R2 launch weighs on car margins

Rivian Automotive shares fell 30.5% over the three months to October 19, 2026, while the S&P 500 rose 2.7%. At $12.34, the stock closed at its lowest level in a year, 45% below its December high. It trades at 2.8 times sales. Gross margin turned positive at 7.5% over the twelve months to June 2026, but second-quarter profit came from software and services ($215 million), while the automotive business lost $36 million at the gross level. Analysts expect third-quarter revenue of about $2.02 billion, up from $1.66 billion in the second. Management has warned that a new vehicle launch will hurt automotive gross profit, and that $164 million of first-half regulatory credits will not recur. Rivian is due to report around October 29. The stock fell 11.5% and 8.8% after its last two reports.

Rivian's tesla-rivalling driving assist is almost here, but not for everyone.

Rivian's tesla-rivalling driving assist is almost here, but not for everyone. Published Oct 20, 2026, 12:30 AM EDT Joel was previously an editor at Autoblog for nearly a decade, covering cars from humble economy hatchbacks to high-end sports cars. He has extensive driving experience with plenty of track time, and even dabbles in motorcycling. Joel has shared his experiences in the car world not just in text, but also on podcasts and web videos. He enjoys learning about the nitty gritty technical details of vehicles, something that was bolstered with his education at McPherson College. The school, in addition to typical higher education topics, also has courses on automotive restoration. While he enjoys spending time in high-end cars, the mainstream market is what he's mostly interested in. He's always excited when an automaker brings style and engagement in a vehicle that almost anyone could get into. In addition to expanding its EV range, most recently with the R2, Rivian is aiming to upgrade its semi-autonomous driving assist systems. Part of that has come in the form of robust sensor systems and computer equipment included on the second-generation R1 line and the new R2. Plus, it has been building up its Large Driving Model AI assist software. At the moment, the system allows for hands-free driving on the highway, just like you get from some competitors such as GM and Ford, plus any roads with painted lines. Next up will be hands-free driving anywhere, and the feature will become available by the end of this year, but only for a very select few in select regions. Rivian calls the new feature Point-to-Point. Rivian will be offering early access to new features in its Autonomy+ suite of driver assists through the Rivian Autonomy Early Access Program. The first of the features that will be available for select users will be its Point-to-Point features. Rivian says that the system is meant to let you hop in, set your address in the navigation, and then the vehicle will drive to that point, completely without driver intervention. The driver will still have to pay attention to the road and the car, just like with Super Cruise or BlueCruise, but can be hands-off the entire time, even in town and on roads without painted markings. How do you get it early? Rivian said earlier that Point-to-Point would be available at the earliest by the end of the year, and according to AutoGuide, people in the Early Access Program will get it in December. It's not quite as simple as just signing up, though, despite the fact that signing up is the first step. You need to have Autonomy+ with an R2 or a second-generation R1, which is either a $49.99 monthly subscription, or a one-time $2,500 purchase. Then you need to register for the program using your Rivian account. This is where it becomes more difficult, because Rivian is only letting a limited number of drivers that meet specific criteria to use it, and you have to be invited. The first hurdle is location. While anyone, anywhere can sign up for the Early Access Program, the only regions getting Point-to-Point early, for the time being, are California and Florida. That will expand over time, and registrations will tell Rivian which regions to prioritize, but those two coastal states are it for now. Additionally, you have to have a clean driving record. This isn't based off of government records, but based on data from your vehicle, which you'll need to be comfortable sharing. Examples include incidents when the forward collision warning has been activated, or if any collisions have been detected. Furthermore, you'll have to remain a good driver, with re-evaluations every month. Speaking of evaluations, Rivian is going to be asking you many questions about your experience. After all, it's letting people have this early as a test before it goes to other owners. You'll need to use the feature every week, keep track of issues, and complete surveys. On top of that, Rivian will also have you sign a non-disclosure agreement so that you don't share experiences publicly in the early test period. CarBuzz insight - why this matters: Rivian's strategy with the Early Access Program is rather similar to Tesla when it was further developing the capabilities of its misleadingly named Full Self-Driving system. It allowed select owners to try out the software for testing before it was released to all customers. It's a striking difference compared to traditional car companies such as GM and Ford, which have only released their assist systems when they've felt they were ready for everyone. While beta testing gives a car company an opportunity to get more unique data quickly, and Rivian is taking some precautions to avoid abuse of the systems, it's hard not to be a little concerned about early software controlling cars on public roads without trained testers behind the wheel.

Rivian's CEO says autonomy will enable 'dramatically different' vehicle designs | TechCrunch.

Rivian's CEO says autonomy will enable 'dramatically different' vehicle designs | TechCrunch. Rivian is going full steam ahead on developing autonomous vehicle software for its EVs, to the point that it is willing to delay profitability. Founder and CEO RJ Scaringe said last week at TechCrunch Disrupt that he thinks autonomy will allow his company to build radically different kinds of vehicles than the outdoorsy SUVs and trucks it currently makes. "Where it gets really interesting is when you think beyond R2 and R3 and start to imagine the form factors that you want to build for a personally owned autonomous vehicle. You know, it opens up all kinds of design opportunities. It can create dramatically different experiences," he said in an interview with TechCrunch. "I'm wildly excited about what the next 10 years look like in transportation because of what this enables us to dream and think about." This is not a new idea, to be sure. A decade ago, autonomous vehicle companies, legacy automakers, and many others promised that autonomy, combined with the proliferation of battery-electric drivetrains (which are simpler and take up less space than their gas-powered predecessors), would produce a Cambrian explosion of new mobility form factors. This led to all kinds of crazy concepts getting bandied about at the time. Mercedes-Benz touted a bubbly pod-like design, as well as a long sedan packed with tech. Toyota and others dreamed up "rooms on wheels." Hyundai once even showed off its idea for a car with legs. This promised design revolution never escaped the concept and prototyping phase. Autonomy took longer than those companies anticipated to develop, and automakers (new and old) struggled with the harsh realities of manufacturing and selling an entirely new category of vehicle. The difference now is that Scaringe's comments come at a time when there are real robotaxis roaming the streets of multiple cities around the world. The software that powers them has seemingly developed to a level that is capable enough to operate them safely on public roads at scale, even if there are still some issues to work out when it comes to integrating them into the urban fabric of cars, bikes, pedestrians, and emergency vehicles. The components that make up electric vehicle motors and batteries have gotten cheaper, and companies like Tesla and Rivian (and many more in China) have gotten better at building them at scale. Rivian has a lot of work ahead before it gets to driverless vehicles. The company is at the beginning of its effort to scale production of the R2 SUV, which it needs to get right in order to reverse years of losses that it incurred to become a major EV player. On the autonomy side, Rivian is just a few years removed from completely reworking its approach to self-driving software, and it still has a ways to go. The company has shipped a driver-assistance system that allows drivers to take their hands off the wheel, while still watching the road. It has promised that, by the end of this year, that software will be capable of driving from start to finish - which the company calls "point-to-point navigation" - without intervention, though still under driver supervision. And it is working toward full autonomy, which it plans to deploy in robotaxi versions of its R2 SUV that will be available on Uber's ride-hail app. But if Rivian achieves full autonomy, most of that driving will be done in personally owned vehicles, Scaringe said in the interview, echoing previous comments he's made. "You know, 95% of the miles driven in the United States - so this is trillions of miles - 95% of these miles are in things that we personally own, so like you own it, or your household owns it. And so our view is it's unlikely, even with Level 4 capabilities, that we're going to see a dramatic societal shift away from that," he said, referencing the Society of Automotive Engineers' classification for autonomous vehicles that operate in a specific area. That figure "may go from 95% to 90%, it may go from 95% to 80%, but still the vast majority of the miles driven for a lot of societal and psychological reasons are likely to stay the same," he said. It's this belief that has Scaringe dreaming about the design of a fully autonomous, personally owned Rivian, he said. As for what that looks like, though, Scaringe was mum. "So we did R1, then we did R2, then we did R3. The thing after R3 is going to be called R4 - we just haven't shown what it looks like," he said. "It's going to be cool. It's going to be great."

Rivian's $1B stake in Mind Robotics may be its most valuable bet

Rivian Automotive's most valuable bet may be robotics, not vehicles. In 2025, chief executive officer RJ Scaringe founded Mind Robotics, an AI-enabled company that builds robots. Rivian owns about a third of it, and Mind is Rivian's primary manufacturing partner. This week, Mind hired Doug Field as president. He previously ran Tesla's Model 3 program and Ford Motor Company's EV operations. Rivian's stake is reportedly worth a little more than $1 billion. Mind reported raising $1 billion in the past year. Rivian launched its more affordable R2 fleet this year and delivered a record 19,248 vehicles in the third fiscal quarter. Its shares are down 34% this year.

Rivian AI agents are coming to its EVs ahead of December AI and Autonomy Day.

Rivian AI agents are coming to its EVs ahead of December AI and Autonomy Day. Tl;dr. * Rivian is preparing to bring conversational AI agents directly into its R1 and R2 vehicles, moving beyond basic voice commands to proactive, context-aware in-car intelligence. * The rollout will be powered by Rivian's in-house autonomy compute and software stack, with deeper integration expected to be detailed at its AI & Autonomy Day event this December. * The push positions Rivian to compete with Tesla, Google, and Chinese EV rivals in the race to make the car an AI companion, not just transportation. Rivian's bigger bet: your car becomes a companion. Rivian has never hidden its ambition to be more than an electric truck company. It wants to be a software company that happens to make adventure-ready EVs. Now that vision is getting its biggest test yet: AI agents living inside Rivian vehicles. According to recent teasers from CEO RJ Scaringe and the company's autonomy leadership, Rivian is developing a new generation of in-car intelligence that goes far beyond "set navigation to Denver" or "open the frunk." Think of an agent that knows your daily commute, your charging habits, your camping setup, and your calendar - and acts on it before you ask. Instead of a voice assistant you have to summon, Rivian wants an agent that's always contextually present: rerouting you around a storm on a road trip to Moab, pre-conditioning the battery for a faster charging stop, booking service when it detects an issue, or summarizing your messages while you're driving hands-free. Why now: software-defined vehicles meet generative AI. The timing is no accident. Rivian just completed its critical transition to its zonal electrical architecture and second-generation R1 platform, plus its new in-house Rivian Autonomy Platform with onboard LiDAR, radar, cameras, and a powerful custom compute module. That hardware unlocks two things: real on-device inference for low-latency AI, and a unified software stack across R1T, R1S, and the upcoming affordable R2. At the same time, the broader auto industry is racing in the same direction. Tesla is pushing Grok integration and robotaxi ambitions, Mercedes and BMW are embedding large language models from Google, Microsoft and Amazon, and Google's Android Automotive with Gemini is becoming the default intelligence layer for many brands. Rivian, notably, has resisted going all-in on Google or Apple for the cabin. It still doesn't offer CarPlay, betting instead that a tightly integrated, Rivian-owned experience will be better long-term. AI agents are the ultimate proof point for that controversial strategy - if it works, Rivian controls the relationship with the driver. If it fails, customers may wonder why they can't just use their phone. What to Expect from Rivian's in-car AI agents. While Rivian hasn't released a full spec sheet yet, job postings, developer briefings, and executive comments point to three layers: 1. A Conversational Vehicle Assistant: A natural-language interface that can control nearly every vehicle function - suspension height, drive modes, climate zones, tonneau cover, lighting scenes, camp mode - plus answer general knowledge questions, plan trips, and manage media. Expect wake-word-free interaction and multi-turn memory, so you can say "find a kid-friendly charger with coffee near our route and add 20 minutes to stretch." 2. Proactive Driving and Ownership Agents: This is where it gets interesting. Rivian is reportedly testing agents that monitor range, weather, traffic, home energy via its charging ecosystem, and maintenance health. For example: predicting you won't make it home on current charge and automatically reserving a Rivian Adventure Network stall, or noticing repeated off-road routes and suggesting tire pressure and drive mode changes. 3. Autonomy-Linked Intelligence: Rivian's Level 2+ system, Rivian Autonomy Platform+, already handles highway hands-free driving with driver monitoring. The company has promised eyes-off, hands-free point-to-point capability over time. AI agents will likely serve as the narrator and co-pilot for that system - explaining why the car changed lanes, took an exit, or slowed, and taking voice overrides like "pass this trailer when it's clear." All of this will run on Rivian's custom software with cloud support from major AI model providers, while keeping safety-critical driving decisions on-board. What December's AI & Autonomy Day could reveal. All eyes are now on Rivian's AI & Autonomy Day event in December. The company has used past events to unveil major platform shifts, and this one is expected to be software-first. Here's what to watch for: Live Demo of the In-Car Agent: Expect Scaringe or Chief Software Officer Wassym Bensaid to demo a live conversation with a Rivian vehicle on stage, showing trip planning, vehicle controls, and memory across drives. Autonomy Roadmap Update: Rivian has promised to expand hands-free driving from highways to more scenarios in 2026 and launch its own robotaxi pilot. December should bring timelines, SAE Level progress, LiDAR data, and safety metrics. R2 AI Strategy: With the $45,000 R2 SUV launching as Rivian's mass-market bet, AI features could be a key differentiator. Will agents be standard, subscription-based via Connect+, or tiered by compute? Developer Platform and Third-Party Agents: One big question is whether Rivian will open APIs for Spotify, DoorDash, Airbnb, and home automation to build agents on top of Rivian's platform - turning the car into an app ecosystem. Pricing and Rollout Timeline: The most practical detail: when do current R1 owners get it via over-the-air update, and will it require new hardware or the Connect+ subscription? The stakes for Rivian. For Rivian, AI agents aren't a gimmick - they're survival strategy. The company is in a brutal transition period: scaling R2 production in Normal, Illinois, fulfilling its Volkswagen joint venture valued at up to $5.8 billion, and trying to reach positive gross profit while competing with Tesla's price cuts. Software and autonomy offer something hardware can't: high-margin recurring revenue and brand lock-in. If Rivian can deliver AI that genuinely makes owning, driving, and adventuring easier, it justifies its walled-garden approach and gives R2 buyers a reason to choose Rivian over a Model Y. The risk is equally clear. Generative AI in cars raises hard questions about distraction, hallucination, privacy, and latency. Drivers won't tolerate an agent that gets charging math wrong or misinterprets a command at 70 mph. Rivian will need to prove its system is automotive-grade, not a chatbot bolted to a steering wheel. Bottom line: December won't just be a tech showcase. It will be Rivian's pitch for what the next decade of driving feels like - less about horsepower and range, and more about intelligence riding shotgun with you.
