Autonomy Meh
Recently bought a Gen 2 Rivian R1S and it came with the 60-day Autonomy+ trial, which is ending soon. Honestly, after owning a Tesla with FSD, I really don’t see the value in paying for Autonomy+ in its current form.
To me, it basically feels like adaptive cruise control with lane assist. It keeps lane and distance well enough, but there’s no real “autonomy” to it. It won’t change lanes on its own, handle stop signs/lights, or drive point-to-point like Tesla FSD does.
I am pleased with the Rivian overall, but this feature feels very far behind what Tesla is doing today.
Does anyone know what Rivian’s roadmap/timeline is for getting Autonomy+ closer to true point-to-point driving or something comparable to FSD? If it eventually gets there, I’d definitely consider subscribing, but right now I’m struggling to see the value.
