Rivian Targets 2027 Broad Release for Point-to-Point Assisted Driving After 2026 Pilot

Summary
Later this year, Rivian plans a limited rollout of point-to-point assisted driving, letting drivers enter an address and have the vehicle navigate city streets, highway junctions and roads in between.
2027 is Rivian’s target for a broad customer release, which it says is achievable because the gap from Universal Hands Free is smaller than it appears, aided by its Large Driving Model and fleet-mile data.
The system remains eyes-on: Rivian says drivers must continuously supervise turns, lane changes and intersection maneuvers rather than hand over full control.
Key launch details are still missing about which vehicles get the pilot first, whether access will be invitation-only and which geographies will be covered.
The roadmap update otherwise largely repackaged existing Gen 2 R1 and R2 autonomy features, including lane-change-on-command on all roads and new on-screen traffic light, stop sign and cone visuals.
