Clear-eyed Rivian and EV insights so you can fall in love with the electric future. Recovering tech founder. Stay curious.
I’m a man of my word, if you’re in the Bothell area this morning come grab a @Toppot donut at the @Rivian service center. I’ll be hanging out for a few hours.
I’m excited to announce a partnership with @Uber. As part of this, Uber plans to invest up to $1.25 billion in Rivian and deploy up to 50,000 R2 robotaxis. This partnership accelerates our path to Level 4 autonomy and supports our goal of building one of the safest autonomous platforms in the world—across both shared and personally owned vehicles. The combination of Rivian’s rapidly growing data flywheel, our in-house RAP1 inference platform (800 TOPS), and our multi-modal perception stack provides a powerful foundation to scale autonomy quickly and responsibly over the next couple of years.
Any Seattle area @Rivian folks around tomorrow (Thursday, 19th) AM? I will have some time to kill and would be game to bring donuts or something to the Bothell service center. cc @ChadMoran @DomDoesMedia @KarenWhitworth
Everyone commenting on this video is talking about FSD. NO, it was not FSD, it was Autopilot. Very different driving behaviours. And if you don’t know what the difference is, you are not qualified to provide analysis on the video. $TSLA
