   Rivian launches point-to-point assisted driving, public test due by year-end

   Rivian has started an early-access autonomous-driving program that invites a small group of owners to try a point-to-point assisted-driving feature, IT之家 reported, citing auto outlet Motor1. All owners of second-generation R1 or R2 vehicles subscribed to the paid Autonomy+ service can apply to join. Rivian says the feature is built on its Universal Hands-Free system and can handle merging and turning rather than just lane keeping; the company aims to release a first public test version by the end of the year and widen coverage in 2027, while stressing the system remains Level 2 assistance, so drivers must stay attentive and ready to take over.

   Rivian plans future in-car third-party AI agents

   Rivian founder and CEO RJ Scaringe said at TechCrunch Disrupt that in the future Rivian vehicles will be able to run AI agents made by other companies, such as Anthropic. Rivian says its in-house agentic framework understands what a user wants and routes the request to the right part of the car's software, using an on-device local model for simpler requests and cloud models for more complex ones. Scaringe gave no implementation timeline, and Rivian declined to offer more details, pointing to its December "AI & Autonomy Day" event. He also said vehicle-level controls such as braking and steering will not be handed to an agent.
