That said, at one point in the interview, Rivian’s CEO said that he would maybe add CarPlay in the future if there were enough consumer demand, indicating that whether Rivian customers don’t care that much or maybe his head of software development isn’t taking a look at Reddit that well. It’s great to get the feedback, and it drives our software roadmap to make sure we’re delivering on what customers want.” Our head of software development is on Reddit all the time, hearing what people are saying and interacting. Every few weeks, we have a new software release that either adds features or addresses gaps, and we listen to feedback. “The thing about controlling the software stack is we get to continually make it better. But by controlling the system, it just allows us to be the arbiter or the head chef in terms of the experience you get, versus handing over control of what we think is one of the most important parts of the experience.”Īnother claim for why Rivian does not allow CarPlay integration is because the company delivers updates regularly, which could not be possible if the car maker depended on Apple.
“A lot of the things we do, whether it’s music or mapping, we have to make sure we integrate into with the best-in-class platforms. Scaringe responds that Rivian does not use CarPlay as the company is driven by its desire to be the “arbiter or head chef” of its in-car software experience rather than handing it to a third-party company.
