Rivian CEO @RJScaringe says the company plans to launch hands-off driving later this year, eyes-off driving in 2027, and fully autonomous vehicles that never require human intervention in 2028.
"Getting to Level 4, which is the idea of the vehicle driving empty, you sitting in the backseat, picking up groceries for you, or dropping you at the airport, our timeline for that is 2028.
"We have point-to-point capabilities launching later this year. That's when you're in the driver's seat, you type in the address, and the car will completely navigate to that address. Your hands are not on the wheel, you're still alert and aware of what's happening, but you're not driving the car. We call that hands off, eyes on."
"Next year we'll go to Level 3, which is hands off, eyes off. So you do all that, but you no longer have to look at the road at all. You can be on your phone, reading a book, etc."
"Level 4 is where the car won't ask you to take over in any situation. It's fully on its own."
