Rivian’s maps get Google-fied.
The electric automaker is launching its new map built on top of Google Maps using the service’s Automotive SDK. Rivian, which notably does not allow Apple CarPlay or Android Auto in its vehicles, says the new maps feature real-time traffic updates, tappable points of interest, and satellite imagery.
And since it’s embedded software, it can integrate important vehicle information, like how much range will be left on arrival and whether charging stops will be needed. And don’t forget Rivian’s “charging score” so you can tell whether a charging station is up to snuff.
