Rivian tests full autonomy in Palo Alto public streets
↗
Rivian demonstrates self-driving capability in a live urban environment without safety-driver oversight
The test signals Rivian’s intent to compete in the autonomy stack beyond driver-assist features. Public-road trials without a safety driver are rare and carry regulatory risk, so the outcome will shape Rivian’s timeline for commercial deployment. If successful, the approach could pressure rivals to accelerate their own full-autonomy programs.
