Rivian adds Google Maps features to its navigation application

Rivian, the American manufacturer EV, integrates Google Maps in its navigation application. The update should provide Rivian owners with more detailed information on their route, their disturbances and their places they pass.

These new features include traffic data and updated resettlements if another option is faster throughout your trip. Drivers will also have access to real -time road disturbance reports from the Google Maps community. In addition, places of interest should now be available directly on the map. Rivian has already used Google Maps information for the search for places, but now everything, for notes, should appear on the screen. The newly available technology also extends to the satellite images of Google Maps.

The Rivian navigation application already included features such as the arrival range, load information and load stops along your route. The update is delivered with a new design which, according to Rivian, has better “ganceability” and “access to information”.

The company has faced certain setbacks and concerns. In February 2024, Rivian Licensed 10% of its employee workforce due to a loss of $ 1.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2023. Then, in October, A report of Bloomberg questioned the safety file of the Illinois factory of the electric vehicle manufacturer. The report highlighted a number of factory injuries, including an amputated finger, a broken skull and vomiting and dizziness after painting without adequate protection.

Rivian has challenged many BloombergThe affirmations, saying at the time that the publication had “distorted the facts” and that “the initial quotes should not be confused as final quotes”. Bloomberg Reported on 16 violations of the OSHA initially serious in 21 months, and allegedly allegedly reprehensible acts, although Rivian received only two serious final quotes from the OSHA during the period in question. A spokesperson for Rivian also said that data in history were two years old at the time of publication and does not represent the current state of the company factory.
