LISTEN: Rivian Teases 'Eyes-Off' Driving System by Next Year

Eric Sorensen

Every major automaker, at this point, has some sort of driver assistance features on their vehicles, they tend to offer varying degrees of sophistication. 

And while Tesla has been most forthcoming about its goals to, at least eventually, make full self-driving a reality, one competitor - Rivian - is suggesting they’ve made some major progress as well.

Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe recently shared an update on the EV maker’s driverless tech ambitions, revealing plans for what’s in store. These include, according to Scaringe, a hands-free feature set to hit the market this year as well as an “eyes-off” system by 2026.
