In addition to this, Rivian has developed its own range of ECUs covering autonomous driving, battery management, digital experience, body control, vehicle dynamics and telematics. As the vehicle's computing platform, these ECUs are interconnected via an in-vehicle Ethernet communications network, allowing secure, high-bandwidth transmission of signals and power.
Rivian officials have now stated that the R1T system will support OTA updates and feature components such as cameras, LIDAR, ultrasonic sensors and GPS, as well as L3 level autonomous driving capabilities, while emphasizing: taking into account five major areas of production quality, including stamping, welding, painting, final assembly, and drive train.
