Rivian To Introduce In-Vehicle Hotspot, Google Cast & YouTube With Connect+ This Summer
California-based Rivian Automotive Inc (NASDAQ:RIVN) has announced a new set of connectivity features on its vehicles called Connect+ which allows for in-vehicle hotspot, satellite images, Google Cast, and YouTube, among other things.
總部位於加利福尼亞的Rivian Automotive Inc (NASDAQ:RIVN)宣佈其車輛上的新擴展功能Connect+，包括車聯網熱點、衛星圖像、谷歌投放和YouTube等。
What Happened: Connect+ will be available in Rivian vehicles later this summer and all existing owners will get a two-month free trial, following which it will cost $14.99 per month or C$19.99, the company says on its website.
Connect+將在今年夏季後期可用於Rivian車輛，所有現有車主將獲得兩個月的免費試用時間，之後將費用爲14.99美元/月或19.99加元，該公司在其網站上表示。
All Rivian vehicles currently come with standard connectivity features such as regular over-the-air software updates, Alexa Basic for vehicle commands, remote vehicle commands, and live navigation.
目前，所有Rivian車輛都配備了標準聯網功能，如常規的軟件更新、Alexa車型基礎版、遠程車輛指令和實時導航。
Connect+, however, will allow for in-vehicle hotspot, satellite images, data to access music streaming apps like Spotify, Tidal and TuneIn, Google Cast, YouTube, and Gear Guard live cam. While Apple Music and YouTube will be coming later this summer, the Gear Guard live cam will come later this year.
Connect+還將支持車內熱點、衛星圖像，以及訪問音樂流媒體應用程序如Spotify、Tidal和TuneIn等數據，Google Cast、YouTube和Gear Guard直播攝像頭。儘管Apple Music和YouTube將在今年夏季推出，但Gear Guard直播攝像頭將在今年晚些時候推出。
While the advanced connectivity package comes with the necessary data and in-vehicle app required to access streaming platforms, vehicle owners will need to have their own accounts for these services, the company said.
雖然高級連接套餐具備訪問流媒體平台所需的必要數據和車輛應用程序，但車主需要擁有這些服務的帳戶，該公司表示。
Why It Matters: Rivian unveiled its second-generation R1 vehicles earlier this month. The new R1S SUV and the R1T pickup have been "completely reengineered through hundreds of hardware improvements, performance upgrades, a fully redesigned software experience, and evolved in-house drive systems," the company said. The new R1S and R1T will be produced at the Normal, Illinois factory, and have a starting price of $75,900 and $69,900, respectively. Deliveries will begin immediately, the company said.
Rivian本月初推出了第二代R1車型。據該公司稱，新款R1S運動型多功能車和R1T皮卡車已通過數百項硬件和性能升級不斷研發，並進行了全面重新設計的軟件體驗和公司內部驅動系統的升級。新款R1S和R1T將在伊利諾伊州諾馬爾工廠生產，並分別起售75,900美元和69,900美元，交付將立即開始。
The company is looking to start production of its cheaper R2, priced at around $45,000 and in the same range as Tesla's best-selling Model Y SUV, in the first half of 2026.
該公司計劃在2026年上半年開始生產售價約爲45,000美元的廉價R2，與特斯拉暢銷的Model Y SUV的價格相當。
