Rivian Develops AI Chip for Enhanced Autonomous Driving
2025-12-12 01:43

Rivian, an American electric vehicle company, is developing its own artificial intelligence chip, RAP1, to replace Nvidia's technology as part of its plan to enhance autonomous driving capabilities. These chips will be used in the upcoming R2 SUV and will be manufactured by TSMC. Along with the development of new lidar sensors and AI models, Rivian aims to achieve full autonomous driving functionality. The new system can process 5 billion pixels per second, which is four times the performance of the current Nvidia system.
