Rivian CEO says the EV maker’s new large driving model will one day allow for fully autonomous driving

Announcements around these topics headlined Rivian’s first “Autonomy and AI Day” in Palo Alto on Thursday, where executives highlighted a slew of tech advancements the EV startup is slated to roll out in the near future. Let the chips fall: Rivian execs announced the development of custom silicon that will underpin its next-generation autonomy platform and that they said would deliver cost, performance, and speed benefits. Execs unveiled what they’re calling the Rivian Autonomy Processor, or RAP1, described in a news release as “a custom 5nm processor that integrates processing and memory onto a single multi-chip module.” The RAP1 will support Rivian’s third-gen autonomy computer, dubbed ACM3, which the company said will have the power to process 5 billion pixels per second.
