Rivian is an American automotive technology company that develops and manufactures category-defining electric vehicles as well as vertically integrated technologies and services. Through innovation across its electrical architecture, end-to-end software, autonomous driving platform, artificial intelligence, and propulsion, the Company creates vehicles that excel at work and play with the goal of accelerating the global transition to zero-emission transportation and energy. Rivian vehicles are manufactured in the United States and are sold directly to consumer and commercial customers. Whether taking families on new adventures or electrifying fleets at scale, Rivian vehicles all share a common goal — preserving the natural world for generations to come.
We believe our competitive advantage stems from our product and brand differentiation through vertically integrated technologies as well as our direct-to-customer sales and service model. Product performance benefits from the ability to fully control and continually enhance virtually every aspect of our vehicle’s software, digital experience, and driving dynamics. Our in-house autonomy system has been designed with an AI-centric end-to-end approach and leverages the large amount of miles driven by Rivian vehicles for training, enabling the Company to continuously improve the system. We believe our product performance is increasingly being recognized by customers and has helped Rivian earn some of the industry’s most coveted owner experience awards.
Our zonal network architecture and software stack serves as the basis for Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies, LLC (the "Joint Venture"). The Joint Venture is working to develop industry-leading software-enabled features and capabilities to address global markets and segments across a variety of vehicle platforms.
Interconnected by our AI platform, Rivian unified intelligence underpins our products and suite of software and services including Autonomy+, designed to deliver fast-paced innovation cycles, structural cost advantages, and exceptional customer experiences.
