Rivian’s R2 adds Pet Cam and an AI voice assistant.

A new software update rolling out the R2 enables Pet Cam, through which vehicle owners can keep tabs on their furry friends, as well as cabin temperature, via the Rivian app. (Tesla pioneered using in-cabin cameras to monitor pets with Dog Mode, released in 2019.) Rivian is also adding its AI-powered voice assistant to the R2 — which may be more of a mixed bag, based on some reviews from R1 owners.
