Autopilot is only Level 2.Nothing on the market today is a level 4 autonomy in the market. This would be defined as "auto pilot". Even the vaunted Tesla system is NOT an auto pilot. It is merely a level 3 autonomy with minimal driver interaction needed. So in effect Tesla and Rivian are in the same boat as classified as a level 3.

I too have EAP - Huge difference between the two: In driver assist mode Rivian locks out user functionality ie. can't change height, which IMO is opposite of way should be (let the computer monitor the road while you takes eyes off to change height); Rivian cannot handle merges and exits; Rivian only works on limited highways that have been "scanned"; Rivian will not change lanes; Rivian phantom brakes WAY more than any other lane keep assist Ive used to the point that it's dangerous...That probably depends on what your definition of "autopilot" is. I have the Enhanced Autopilot feature on my Tesla, and it seems like the only difference between this and the Rivian driver assist is the Rivian does not do auto lane changes. I keep this feature turned off, so for my use, the Rivian should give me the same features. However, it's clear that the Rivian system has a long way to go before it works as well/reliably as the Telsa autopilot.
Thanks for the additional color on this. Phantom braking is a real problem, and makes driving way more stressful. But 4 years ago the phantom braking on the Telsa system was much worse than now, so I'm hopeful they will dedicate resources to software improvements the way Tesla has. The "scanned" requirement for Driver+ puzzles me though, has anyone heard an explanation of why they need this? GPS positioning is not precise enough to use for lane keeping, so what other data is in these scanned maps that the truck needs for simple lane keeping functions?Huge difference between the two: In driver assist mode Rivian locks out user functionality ie. can't change height, which IMO is opposite of way should be (let the computer monitor the road while you takes eyes off to change height); Rivian cannot handle merges and exits; Rivian only works on limited highways that have been "scanned"; Rivian will not change lanes; Rivian phantom brakes WAY more than any other lane keep assist Ive used to the point that it's dangerous.
Driver's plus is hands free.I was asking about hands-free, such as the blue cruise of the mustang mach e
Not yet. You have to leave your hand on the wheel, currently. If you don't, it reminds you, and if you ignore it then it will disable Driver+.Driver's plus is hands free.
With my R1T, I use a sock full of rice and hang it from the bottom of the steering wheel and keep my hands close just in case. Hands free, but not rice sock freeNot yet.
