Rivian rolls out ‘Hey Rivian’ AI assistant with full vehicle control

Rivian has launched its AI-powered voice assistant, 'Hey Rivian', which enables full control of vehicle functions for R1 owners through an over-the-air software update. This feature, accessible via voice command or a steering wheel button, requires a Connect+ subscription and sets Rivian apart from competitors like Tesla, whose Grok assistant lacks similar capabilities. The rollout marks a significant advancement in in-car technology and user interaction.
