    Rivian mirrors now auto-tilt when you shift into reverse.

    The big news in Rivian’s most recent software update was Enhanced Highway Assist for hands-free driving on compatible highways, but let’s take a moment to call out a very simple quality-of-life upgrade: you can now set the side mirrors to tilt down automatically when you go into reverse. (Lots of other cars have this feature, which makes parking a big vehicle like an R1S or R1T much easier.)

    Decoder listeners know I asked CEO RJ Scaringe for this feature when he was on the show last year because it’s such a common request in the Rivian forums. He committed to adding it on the show, and now it’s here. See? Results.
