Rivian develops 5nm in-house chip and works with Uber on end-to-end self-driving system

Rivian is developing a 5nm in-house chip with Arm and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), according to TechCrunch as cited by Techub. The electric vehicle maker is also building an end-to-end autonomous driving system for passenger vehicles and future robotaxis in partnership with Uber. Separately, Rivian has created internal AI models to power its in-car assistant. CEO RJ Scaringe said the company plans to license its EV architecture, software, AI models, and autonomous driving stack to "many different brands." He also said Mind Robotics, an industrial robotics startup in which Rivian holds a partial stake, has hired former Ford, Apple, and Tesla executive Doug Field as president. In addition, Rivian’s joint technology venture with Volkswagen Group is focused on EV architecture and software, with capital totaling $5.8 billion.
