“One of the things I love about Rivian is the way they fill their vehicles with so much amazing high performance technology, but always make sure it feels like second nature that it keeps that human touch. And a great example would be the haptic halo wheels on the new R2. I was recently able to drive an R2 with R.J. Scring, the founder and CEO, and he shared the thinking behind this cool and unique feature.”

“ever since I started driving my Rivian, I find myself making even more time to just hop in and take it to places where I can live real experiences. I was recently able to drive an R2 with R.J. Scrange, the founder and CEO of Rivian. To watch the rest of our conversation and learn all about the R2 and the places it can take you, go to stories.rian.com/rich.”

“I'll be interviewing the CEO and founder of Rivian, and I do think that everyone should watch that one. Um because there's a lot to talk about. This is a company, speaking of AI, that started as an EV maker and kind of is in robotics and building its own AI assistant and doing building an agentic system for its vehicles.”

Host expresses positive anticipation about interviewing the CEO and founder, noting the company's diverse and innovative work across EVs, robotics, and AI.

“you can't compete with a new iPhone with any car. You just can't do it. Maybe Rivian and Tesla can do it, but I think everybody has the same questions about performance of those systems over time.”

Rivian is mentioned as a potential competitor to traditional car makers in terms of processor and RAM capabilities.

“Rivian founder and CEO R.J. Scarring has spent more than a decade doing exactly that through enormous expectations, brutal manufacturing challenges, and some very public ups and downs. We've just launched it within Rivian. We launched R2.”

CEO discusses company challenges and strategy in a business interview context without positive or negative framing.
