Rivian Faces Lawsuit Over Self-Driving Claims

Rivian’s first-gen R1T and R1S are under fire in a new class-action lawsuit over false claims of hands-free, eyes-off driving — a Level 3 autonomy feature they never truly delivered, even after software updates. Plaintiffs allege fraud, misrepresentation, and unjust enrichment, demanding a jury trial. Rivian remains silent, as it’s not their first legal stumble — they recently settled a $250M shareholder suit over a 2022 price hike. Crucially, the newer second-gen models do offer true hands-free driving, thanks to upgraded hardware and software. This lawsuit joins a growing wave of legal challenges across the auto industry, with Tesla also facing similar lawsuits over self-driving promises — highlighting how murky the future of autonomous tech remains.
