Rivian builds its own AI stack for autonomous vehicles
Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe explains how the company has moved from function-oriented architecture to software-defined vehicle architecture that allows for monthly updates. Rivian has also scrapped its original technology platform to build a vertically integrated data storage stack to handle complex driving scenarios with neural networks.
WHY IT MATTERS
The shift toward software-defined architecture in the automotive industry represents a fundamental transition from traditional driving rules to machine learning. Rivian's strategy of vertically integrating AI systems could become a competitive advantage in the race for the autonomy market, particularly with the R2 model set to compete with the Tesla Model Y.
