Update 2025.22.01 - Release Notes

We teamed up with Google Maps to build a navigation product that specifically supports Rivian’s EV driver experience.

This major release provides the following from Google Maps, both in-vehicle and in the Rivian mobile app:

• Routes and live traffic

• Real-time road incidents

• Tappable points of interest you can select and explore

• Search powered by Google Maps

• Satellite imagery that refreshes regularly (Connect+ subscription required)

The release also includes a new map style, easier access to Home and Work locations, and an option to see range as percentage, distance, or both.

On Tri- and Quad-Motor vehicles, you can now capture and relive Launch mode events from five camera angles, along with an overlay of a live telemetry feed that includes reaction time, peak G-force, 0-60, and quarter-mile times. To use this feature, go to Video > Launch in the center display, and turn on Record video during launch events.

You can now use Driver Assistance features when an electrical accessory is connected to the tow hitch of your vehicle.

To enable this, go to Drive Modes > Trailers and select Accessory.

NOTES

• An accessory is defined as a vehicle attachment that doesn't have an axle and isn’t directly supported by the ground. It's your responsibility to select the correct profile when towing a trailer.

• Driver assistance features may not work as designed if a large electrical accessory is attached in the rear of the vehicle.

Go Chime now provides a chime only when Driver Attention Detection confirms the driver is not looking at the road when a vehicle ahead drives away. Go Chime no longer chimes when the Driver Attention Detection feature confirms the driver is looking at the road ahead. (Gen 2 only)

When the vehicle comes to a stop while Adaptive Cruise Control or Highway Assist is engaged, and Driver Attention Detection confirms the driver is looking at the road ahead, the vehicle now extends the active period of the driver assistance feature before pausing. (Gen 2 only)

We developed a new control software to allow a greater separation between Ride and Handling maneuvers across all Drive modes, resulting in improved ride comfort on straightaways and improved roll control during cornering. Benefits to Drive modes include:

• All-Purpose - Reduced ride trade-offs between casual driving and spirited driving

• Sport - Increased roll damping during sustained cornering

• Rally - Enhanced composure over rough terrain to deliver a more engaging and comfortable driving experience

• Rock Crawl - Improved body control during low-speed, cross-axle articulation scenarios

The Rivian Adventure Network now has off-peak pricing on many sites, offering you the flexibility to save by charging at off-peak hours throughout the day.
