Rivian 'Not Necessarily' Chasing Robotaxis And Full Self Driving Like Tesla, Says Senior Exec
Tesla, meanwhile, unveiled its Cybercab with no pedals or steering wheel last month. The vehicle, CEO California-based EV maker Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) is not chasing after vehicle autonomy like its rival Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), a senior company executive said in an interview.
總部位於加利福尼亞的電動車製造商Rivian Automotive（納斯達克：RIVN）並不像競爭對手特斯拉公司（納斯達克：TSLA）那樣追逐車輛自主性，一位公司高管在接受採訪時表示。
What Happened: "We are not necessarily chasing full-self driving, we're not chasing robotaxis," Wassym Bensaid, Chief Software Officer at Rivian, told Business Insider. "Our goal is incremental improvements to the safety and convenience for customers."
發生了什麼：「我們並不一定在追求全自動駕駛，我們也不追求無人駕駛出租車，」 Rivian的首席軟件官Wassym Bensaid告訴商業內幕。「我們的目標是逐步改進爲顧客提供的安全性和便利性。」
"We're not chasing a specific autonomy level because we think, philosophically, that it's really about the incremental features, whether it's safety or convenience that you can progressively add to the car," he added.
「我們並不在追求具體的自主等級，因爲我們認爲，從哲學上講，重要的是逐步增加汽車的安全性或便利性等增量功能，」他補充道。
Tesla, meanwhile, unveiled its Cybercab with no pedals or steering wheel last month. The vehicle, CEO Elon Musk then said, will enter production "before 2027" and be priced below $30,000.
與此同時，特斯拉上個月發佈了無踏板或方向盤的Cybercab。首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克隨後表示，這款車將在「2027年之前」投產，售價低於3萬美元。
Musk also said during the company's third-quarter earnings call that the company expects to start a ride-hail service in Texas and California starting next year, subject to regulatory approval, with self-driving Model 3 and Model Y vehicles.
馬斯克在公司第三季度業績會上還表示，公司計劃明年開始在德克薩斯州和加利福尼亞州提供網約車服務，前提是取得監管批准，使用自動駕駛的Model 3和Model Y車輛。
However, the vehicles might not all operate as driverless robotaxis initially but with a driver as some states demand it until the company touches certain milestones in terms of miles and hours driven, the company then said.
然而，這些車輛最初可能不會全部以無人駕駛機器人出租車的形式運營，部分州要求在公司達到一定的英里數和行駛時間的里程碑之前，必須有駕駛員在場。公司隨後表示。
However, Musk also expressed confidence about the company operating driverless paid rides sometime next year.
然而，馬斯克也對公司在明年某個時候運營無人駕駛的付費乘車服務表達了信心。
Why It Matters: Rivian currently has two EV models in production- the R1S SUV and the R1T truck. Last month, Rivian cut its annual production forecast by as much as 18% to between 47,000 and 49,000 electric vehicles. The company cited production disruption owing to a component shortage for the revised guidance.
爲何重要：Rivian目前在生產兩種電動車型- R1S SUV和R1萬億卡車。上個月，Rivian將其年度生產預測下調多達18%，至4.7萬至4.9萬輛電動車。公司稱由於零部件短缺，導致生產中斷，故修訂了指導意見。
For the third quarter, the company delivered 10,018 EVs and produced 13,157. The company is slated to announce its third-quarter results on November 7, after market close.
在第三季度，該公司交付了10,018輛新能源車並生產了13,157輛。該公司計劃在11月7日收市後公佈其第三季度業績。
Though the company started delivering EVs to customers in late 2021, it has yet to achieve profitability.
儘管該公司開始在2021年底向客戶交付新能源車，但尚未實現盈利。
