Rivian is working on a big software update that will bring the R2’s interface to all R1S and R1T EVs.
Rivian OS 2.0 comes with updated graphics. A handy Waze integration for real-time alerts is in the pipeline.
The R2, which is already shipping with Rivian OS 2.0, is also getting Waze alerts.
Rivian is still not adding Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to its electric cars, but it’s slowly getting to the point where these two smartphone mirroring features won’t be needed at all.
That’s because owners of the R1S, R1T, and R2 have pretty much everything they need directly on the car’s main screen, and now the automaker is bringing yet another feature that has traditionally been reserved for people who rely on their smartphones for navigation.
