NEWS: Rivian haș unveiled its Autonomy chip and Gen 3 Autonomy Computer, which the company says is designed to solve the needs of autonomous driving. Chip: • Mutli-chip module • TSMC 5nm • Neural engine: Rivian designed • 800+ TOPS • In-house designed software stack "RAP1 powers the company’s third-generation Autonomy computer, the Autonomy Compute Module 3. Key specs include: • 1600 sparse INT8 TOPS • The processing power of 5 billion pixels per second. • RAP1 features RivLink, a low latency interconnect technology allowing chips to be connected to multiply processing power, making it inherently extensible. • RAP1 is enabled by an in-house developed AI compiler and platform software.” Rivian: “In addition to ACM3, Rivian plans to integrate LiDAR into future R2 models. LiDAR will augment the company’s multi-modal sensor strategy, providing detailed, three-dimensional spatial data and redundant sensing, and improving real-time detection for the edge cases of driving. Our Gen 3 Autonomy hardware including ACM3 and LiDAR is currently undergoing validation and we expect it to ship on R2 models starting at the end of 2026.”
