Great video on the upcoming Rivian R2:

* $2,500 system (Tesla charges $8,000 & Lifetime is being retired this week in favor of a $99/mo subscription service)
* 11 cameras (65 megapixels total)
* 5 radars (including a front imaging radar)
* LIDAR (top of windshield)
* In-house compute platform
* Self-driving computer developed in-house by Rivian (800 TOPS platform with two of them for 1,600 TOPS)


Tesla has the best platform on the planet, but they lack LIDAR, which I think will hold them back.
