It's the mic. The cabin is not bank vault silent of course but the mic picks up a lot of extra noise. I'm working on improving the audio quality moving forward.
Unfortunately the current R1 series lacks two side cameras facing backwards (they only have two side cameras facing downwards for lane recognition and 360). This literally prevent rivian to adopt real FSD techs like auto lane change (assuming they can replace your onboard computer)
If they had a solid autopilot like auto lane change , I would have bought rivian over model X. I don’t think I can invest $110k for a car that is not 100% there with drive assist + lane change . I am sure they will improve in future . Just my 2cent
Rivian isn't on par with Tesla. They have updated the gen 1 vehicles to auto resume when you change lanes but its one thing I really miss on my Tesla is the auto lane change available with EAP or FSD. I do however find it's good enough on straight roads with light to moderate traffic. Their Gen 2 vehicles will eventually be capable of more advanced ADAS
I would give it another shot. It’s really improved over the past 3 months. Go give one a test drive at a tesla service center. I think you will change your mind

Hoping Rivian improves its AP. I would love to switch to Rivian from Tesla! Thanks for the video!
Thanks! I'm sure they will. There has been talk of more "autonomous features" and Rivian possibly selling a subscription similar to Tesla
When the R2 comes out I’d be tempted to get it instead of the model Y if they develop autopilot further
Same. It seems like a BIG if though.
Have you tried FSD? It now is 99.5% there and doesn’t make you touch the steering wheel at all! It’s so nice
Is a window cracked or is there that much exterior noise in the cabin?

I like how it doesn't nag me to death. Makes me feel like an adult vs the tesla. Until tesla is completely autonomous, this works just fine
You should try FSD, it does eye tracking instead of nags now. It’s great!

The one thing that bugs me on my Rivian R1S is The only way to disengage the cruise control is by hitting the brake pedal. Wth ? Lol. Senseless.
R1S is such an awesome vehicle. Should also be able to disengage by tapping up once on the gear stalk. What do you like most about R1S?
Thanks for that tip. I’ll try that next time. I do love it Two favorite things are style and the ride is very comfortable
I don’t like FSD
We have adaptive cruise control which is basically what rivian is doing and that’s fine. I don’t want to let it drive on its own.
I understand your caution on the self driving.
I would give it another shot. It’s really improved over the past 3 months. Go give one a test drive at a tesla service center. I think you will change your mind
@@calebbarry3977 nah, we don’t like the bubble mobile lol. The shape is ugly which is why we chose Rivian
Good video but did not enjoy watching the pine tree air freshener in the middle of the frame for the entire time.
You will be happy to know the little tree air freshener is gone for good! 😁
