Hi All,

We made an error with the 2023.42 OTA update - a fat finger where the wrong build with the wrong security certificates was sent out. We cancelled the campaign and we will restart it with the proper software that went through the different campaigns of beta testing.

Service will be contacting impacted customers and will go through the resolution options. That may require physical repair in some cases.

This is on us - we messed up. Thanks for your support and your patience as we go through this.

The young automaker bricked the infotainment system on dozens of vehicles (at the very least) with an OTA update, blaming the issue on a "fat finger" mistake when uploading a new software build. It posted to the Rivian subreddit to explain the issue, where it was met with both the kind of sympathy that only EV owners can offer, as well as understandable frustration. The cars are still allegedly mostly drivable, but many owners are reporting that both the main infotainment screen as well as the instrument cluster are completely or partially dead. In a lot of cases, that seems to mean no speedometer, climate control, range readout—nothing.

These guys are trying to prove that Tesla FSD is better than Waymo and their car attempts to murder them no less than 3 separate times lmfao

“Due to a programming issue, if the operator removes the charging cable without cancelling the charge, an electrical arc between the charging plug and the vehicle may occur,” reads the Ora’s recall notice issued this week in Australia.

“If an electrical arc comes into contact with the operator or bystanders it will increase the risk of serious injury or death.”

The issue can reportedly be fixed with a software update.

Autonomous vehicles in San Francisco are exempt from traffic tickets if there is nobody in the driver’s seat, according to the San Francisco police department (SFPD), underscoring ongoing legal and safety concerns surrounding the expanding technology. California law has not caught up to the cars, even though they are already on the road, say public safety agencies and experts.

SFPD policy states that officers can make a traffic stop of autonomous vehicles (AVs) for violations, but can only issue a citation if there is a safety driver in the vehicle overseeing its operations. Since June 2022, autonomous vehicles have been permitted to operate without safety drivers as long as they are inside the city limits. Officers can issue citations to the registered owner of an unoccupied vehicle in absentia for non-moving violations such as parking or registration offenses but not violations like speeding, running a red light, driving in the wrong lane or making an illegal turn.
