TechRivian’s autonomy gamble faces its first real test

Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe devoted much of an earnings call to the company’s autonomous-driving ambitions. It plans to test hands-free point-to-point driving with employees this year, offer it to customers in 2027 and launch robotaxis with Uber in 2028. The costly push comes as Rivian works to scale production of its R2 SUV, and success is far from certain.
