Leah Pierce+FollowRivian’s Lidar Move Is a Game ChangerRivian is shaking up the EV world by making lidar—a super-advanced laser sensor—affordable for regular drivers. Their autonomy chief says the price drop is so wild, it’s now a ‘no-brainer’ for safer self-driving cars. Unlike Tesla’s camera-only vibe, Rivian’s going all-in with lidar, cameras, and radar for extra safety. Their new R2 SUV will be the first to get this tech, aiming for full self-driving and more choices under $50K. Big moves! #Cars #Rivian #EVs00Share
Kathleen Pham+FollowRivian’s Lidar Gamble: Smarter Than Tesla?Rivian just threw down the gauntlet in the autonomy race, rolling out its own AI chip and rooftop lidar for next-gen EVs. Unlike Tesla’s camera-only approach, Rivian is betting big on a multi-sensor stack—think custom silicon, radar, and that eye-catching lidar dome. Is this sensor-heavy strategy the future of safe self-driving, or just overkill? Would you trust a robotaxi with more sensors, or is software king? Let’s debate. #Tech #Rivian #AutonomousVehicles00Share
Michael Wilson+FollowRivian’s Wild 2030 Driverless Car BetRivian’s CEO just dropped a bombshell: by 2030, you might send your truck on errands with no one inside.

Rivian’s all-in on autonomy, calling it the future of their business and a make-or-break for carmakers. If they pull this off, will you trust your car to drive itself while you chill at home? #Cars #Rivian #SelfDriving00Share
