Rivian reduced electrical wiring by 1.6 miles and 44 pounds

Using fewer, more efficient electrical control units, Rivian says its vehicles are easier to maintain and more feature rich.

Unveiled just a couple of months ago, Rivian’s second-generation R1T pickup and R1S SUV will maintain their distinctive look, with playful headlamps and a sleek exterior shape. Every time you open a door, raise the cabin temperature, slide your seats, turn on the lights, change the mode, and more, you could be connecting to different hardware. The system includes an array of 11 internally developed cameras and five radars performing over 250 trillion operations per second, which Rivian says is an industry-leading statistic.
