EV manufacturer Rivian Automotive and Volkswagen Group (VW) have announced their intention to form an equally controlled and owned joint venture (JV) to create next-generation electrical architecture and software technology for software-define vehicles (SDVs).
The partnership is anticipated to accelerate the development of software for both companies. Rivian’s zonal hardware design and integrated technology platform will serve as the foundation for SDV development in the JV for the companies’ vehicles. Rivian says it plans to contribute its electrical architecture expertise and license existing intellectual property rights to the JV.
