Invitations started October 15 for Gen 2 R1 and R2 owners in California and Florida on a paid Autonomy+ plan. Expect weekly testing, camera sharing, and 30-day safety checks.
The over-the-air update runs through November 2 and adds light shows, lock sounds and an arcade game. Not every Rivian gets the same set.
Software update 2026.36 streams live cabin video to the Rivian app, but only for Connect+ subscribers. R1T and R1S owners get remote Pet Mode control instead.
A screen prompt can hide the rearview image in some R1T, R1S, and R2 models. The software fix is already on more than 95% of affected vehicles.
Software update 2026.31 moves every R1T and R1S onto the same software as the R2, and its navigation now flags police and speed cameras using reports from Google Maps and Waze users. Two new features sit behind the $14.99-a-month Connect+ plan.
