TechCrunch got a chance to speak with two of Rivian's engineers about self driving capabilities and some of the design process for its vehicles.
Oliver Jerome, Rivian's associate director of self-driving, spoke about Rivian's plan for level 3 self-driving in its vehicles. He mentioned that there will be a driver monitoring camera along with hands on wheel sensors included in the driver monitoring system.
They also spoke with Zab Steenwyk, industrial designer, about how she helped research design ideas for Rivian and how she designed the R1T's cross bars.
The most interesting part for me is when Jerome talks about how the autonomous system will act with drivers when it's turned on.
