Rivian Upgrades R1S And R1T With New Software Update

Other updates include an increased hands-off warning period for the Highway Assist system. Previously, the safety feature would notify you after 10 seconds; this has been doubled with the latest software update. Engaging the safety system now takes just one second when the driver taps the drive stalk twice.

This is useful as it allows you to engage the adaptive cruise control with the first tap, accelerate, and then set the desired speed. Other minor fixes include adding a progress bar when listening to audiobooks or podcasts through Spotify and correctly displaying the FM radio channel frequency.

Other rare fixes were also made, including obscure faults like Gear Guard videos not being properly saved to external storage drives.
