What if...

[RJ Scaringe @RJScaringe]

I’m excited to announce a partnership with @Uber. As part of this, Uber plans to invest up to $1.25 billion in Rivian and deploy up to 50,000 R2 robotaxis.

This partnership accelerates our path to Level 4 autonomy and supports our goal of building one of the safest autonomous platforms in the world—across both shared and personally owned vehicles.

The combination of Rivian’s rapidly growing data flywheel, our in-house RAP1 inference platform (800 TOPS), and our multi-modal perception stack provides a powerful foundation to scale autonomy quickly and responsibly over the next couple of years.

A fleet of R2 Robotaxis is coming exclusively to @Uber. ⚡🌿

Today, we announced a partnership to help both companies accelerate their autonomous vehicle plans across 25 cities in the US, Canada and Europe by the end of 2031.

I am excited to announce Mind Robotics’ $500M financing, co-led by @Accel and @a16z! 

Mind is focused on building the world’s leading industrial robotics platform, capable of performing dexterous, variable, and reasoning-intensive tasks. Existing industrial robotics can perform repeatable, dimensionally stable tasks, but a large share of industrial value-add work requires human-like dexterity, adaptation, and physical reasoning that classical robotics cannot address. 

We are building AI-powered robots—models, hardware, and deployment infrastructure—that will perform real tasks, in real plants, at real scale.

I am excited to announce our partnership with @MarkRober and @crunchlabs!

With incredible advances in AI, so many aspects of our lives and society are being rewritten. Never before has learning and embracing the idealistic curiosity we are all born with been so important. Mark is one of the most incredible thinkers in redefining how we learn — his ability to inspire curiosity and activate imagination is truly something special. 

@Rivian is being built to help enable and inspire adventure — to explore and learn. Mark inspires so many people from around the world, from kids to adults, to ask why…to imagine…and, of course, to laugh. This joyful approach to learning is exactly what is needed as we redefine so much of how our world works.

The wait is almost over. The first R2 variant, featuring dual motors and all-wheel drive, launches this spring.

We’ll be sharing full details—pricing, options and more—on March 12. That’s just 4 weeks and 2 days from today. But who’s counting?
