Rivian’s new update could make your EV feel like Knight Rider (or Back to the Future)


But can it go back in time?

Rivian’s getting into the Halloween spirit by adding new “car costumes” to its electric vehicles that can theme out its screens to look like the Time Machine interface from Back to the Future or KITT from Knight Rider. Rivian vehicles typically show pedestrians, cars, and bicyclists that are around you on its driver screen, and with the Halloween update, it will now turn them into zombies and headless horsemen. Rivian’s Halloween theme ideas are in line with some of the easter egg software updates that Tesla often releases, including synchronized Christmas music light shows, a Mario Kart-esque rainbow road, and 2001: A Space Odyssey-themed Sentry Mode security system.
