Rivian plans to integrate AI agents into vehicles

TechCrunch: AI agents are coming to Rivian’s cars

We'll likely learn more about how this will work at the company's upcoming "AI & Autonomy Day" event in December.

Get smart on it

Rivian is planning to integrate AI agents from other companies into its electric vehicles, allowing the cars to run software made by frontier AI labs in addition to Rivian's own AI assistant. The carmaker has built its own in-car software framework from scratch rather than relying on Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and this framework can route user requests to the appropriate part of the vehicle's software by choosing between local models running on the car or cloud-based models for complex tasks. The implementation requires significant coordination between Rivian and AI companies to ensure the software works safely, with strict limits preventing agents from controlling critical vehicle functions like braking or steering. Rivian has not announced a timeline for this feature but plans to share more details at an AI and autonomy event in December.
