TechCrunch Mobility: Rivian Builds Own In-Vehicle AI Models and 5nm Autonomy Chip With Arm and TSMC

TechCrunch Mobility's Oct 18 column details Rivian's push to develop proprietary AI models for its in-vehicle assistant and an end-to-end autonomous driving stack for its passenger vehicles and future Uber-partner robotaxis. CEO RJ Scaringe says Rivian is co-designing a 5nm autonomy chip with Arm and TSMC and plans to license its electric architecture, software and AI/autonomy stack to other automakers beyond the existing $5.8B VW venture. Rivian also owns 31% of industrial-robotics startup Mind Robotics.
