💨 Abstract

Rivian showcased its self-driving technology at its "Autonomy & AI Day," demonstrating its Large Driving Model (LDM) in a 2025 R1S SUV. The demo highlighted the challenges of autonomous driving, with minor issues and disengagements observed. Rivian aims to roll out "Universal Hands-Free" driving by early 2026 and "point-to-point" driving later that year.
