The EV manufacturer designed its silicon in-house in the middle of Silicon Valley. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Rivian founder and CEO RJ Scaringe hosted the EV manufacturer's first Autonomy and AI Day this week, announcing a slew of big advancements from his no-longer-fledgling company. Appropriately, from Rivian's headquarters in Silicon Valley, the automaker revealed a project it has been keeping under wraps: a silicon chip of its own design. The chip is a processor that powers the next version of Rivian's on-board computer.

Google is giving its smart-home range a shake-up, and is discontinuing two of its products to replace them with third-party collaborations. That means, after 12 years, it's time to say goodbye to the Nest Protect Smoke & CO Alarm, and it's also ending production of the Nest x Yale Lock, a smart lock that debuted in 2018. The Nest Protect's replacement comes from First Alert, a well-established player in the smoke detector space. Arriving in the coming months for 130 and available for preorder now, the First Alert Smart Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarm will offer safety voice alerts, safety checkups, and the ability to silence alarms from the app. It'll connect with existing Nest Protect devices, so if you have one, you can still install the First Alert system in another spot, and if a fire is detected, both units will sound the alarm. Just like the Protect, it can be set up and controlled through the Google Home app.

Rivian has hired former Waymo executive James Philbin to lead autonomy and AI at the automaker, a new role that signals the company's interest in automated driving technology. Philbin was director of software engineering for two years at Waymo. Before that, Philbin worked for five years at Amazon's self-driving subsidiary Zoox, where he lead computer vision and perception. "As we look at our future roadmap and the integral role of AI/ML, James' arrival couldn't come at a more impactful time," Rivian founder and CEO RJ Scaringe wrote in a LinkedIn post. Scaringe reiterated that point Wednesday while onstage at TechCrunch Disrupt.

The automotive sector is undergoing dramatic changes. On several levels, global change, technological breakthroughs, and changing customer behaviour are all having an impact on the automobile business at the same time. Vehicle design, manufacturing, sales, maintenance, insurance, and financing are al ripe for revolutionary changes. Audi, Tesla, Hyundai, Benz, Nissan, and Kia are all working hard to include AI and automate their cars. Over the next decade, technological improvements and customer expectations will be the main drivers of change.

Electric vehicles are no longer the main way to compare carmakers, with self-driving cars now the main race over the coming years, according to JPMorgan. The investment bank reckons Daimler (ETR:DAI), Stellantis NV (NYSE:STLA, EPA:STLA), Renault and Volkswagen Group (XETRA:VOW) "will benefit the most from this trend" and they are its key picks among the traditional automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), a group that also includes BMW, Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F), General Motors Company (NYSE:GM), Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai and Kia. "Electrification is no longer a differentiating factor amongst OEMs, in our view," the US investment bank said. "Rather, cash generation and the race into autonomous driving will be over the coming years," JPM said in a note to clients on Monday. Looking at the auto market in the past year, the analysts said it was becoming "increasingly evident" that the traditional OEMs are using their strong free cash flow to "speed their way into electrification and autonomous driving to compete against new start-ups".

Roles and Responsibilities: Many software developers and engineers working in the autonomous vehicle-making sector go through a tough time to find the apt software that works well on the system. Therefore, a disruptive course called Automotive Software Engineer, combining the perspective of autonomous vehicle making and the software used in it has emerged. They control the functions of cars, supports, and assist the driver, and realize systems for information and entertainment. Automotive Software Engineers are responsible for the design and development of software systems using in-car technology. Automobile Engineering: Vehicle Dynamic for Beginners at Udemy: Automobile Engineering course offered by Mufaddal Rasheed at Udemy is an introductory course on the mechanics of vehicle behavior and suspension design concepts.

With one stroke of the pen Governor Newsom of California has insured a robust outlook for the future of electric vehicles in California. Finally, electric vehicle manufacturers are in vogue. The executive order requires that starting in 2035 all vehicles sold in the state of California can no longer have an internal combustion engine. There are many electric vehicle companies in the market. Tesla TSLA 0.6%, Nio and Rivian appear to be leading the way with large contracts and/or significant followings in the electric vehicle world.

Reports emerged last week that GM would not join Amazon in investing in electric vehicle startup Rivian, and now we have a little more clarity on why talks broke down. It seems GM wanted some exclusivity, but Rivian plans to build vehicles for other companies, as well as release up to six models under its own branding by 2025. Founder RJ Scaringe said Rivian is working on something related to the Amazon investment, but hinted to Bloomberg that it may not be a vehicle. He's open to selling his company's technology (it has developed long-lasting batteries) to other businesses for various products, including stationary batteries. So perhaps Amazon is interested in using Rivian's know-how for something other than vehicles, though it has also invested in a self-driving car startup.
