Rivian taps Google to bring custom maps into its EVs and app


Rivian vehicles will soon replace its Mapbox-based maps with Google Maps. The integration will still see a lot of Rivian DNA in the new mapping system, though.

Kirsten Korosec is a reporter and editor who has covered the future of transportation from EVs and autonomous vehicles to urban air mobility and in-car tech for more than a decade. She is also co-founder and co-host of the podcast, “The Autonocast.” She previously wrote for Fortune, The Verge, Bloomberg, MIT Technology Review and CBS Interactive.
