Content overview: “Rivian Limits Point-to-Point Driving to Invite-Only Testers Under NDA”. Rivian is taking a cautious approach with its new point-to-point driving feature, initially rolling it out only to a select group of owners through an invitation-only “Autonomy Early Access Program.” Those chosen must sign a non-disclosure agreement before gaining access. The program, detailed on a new Rivian support page, is open to U.S. Rivian says the feature will launch for this group in late 2026, with a broader expansion not expected until 2027.
This controlled release underscores Rivian’s focus on safety and data collection, as it gathers feedback from a small, vetted group before a wider rollout. By requiring NDAs, Rivian aims to manage public perception and refine the technology without premature scrutiny. The move signals that point-to-point autonomy is still in a developmental phase, with Rivian prioritizing reliability over speed to market. The full version stays on the original page, which this listing opens directly.
