Rivian has rolled out its new Rivian Assistant AI through a software update for compatible R1T and R1S owners subscribed to its Connect Plus plan. The upcoming R2 model will also feature this AI at launch.
This AI is powered by the vehicle's onboard hardware and software, offering native access to nearly all car systems. It's built upon Rivian's Unified Intelligence, a multimodal AI foundation designed to learn from diverse data sources.

Owners can control data collection, including toggling the wake word and restricting location sharing. The AI learns from driver profiles and real-time vehicle data to offer personalized responses and assistance.
