Rivian Automotive faces a class-action lawsuit from owners alleging false advertising of self-driving capabilities. The complaint targets first-generation R1T and R1S vehicles.
Plaintiffs claim Rivian misled customers by promising a hands-free driving feature that remains undelivered. The lawsuit specifically cites promises of Level 3 autonomous driving within the Driver+ system.
Owners contend they paid a premium for "hands-off, eyes-off" capabilities. The filing alleges these vehicles may lack the hardware necessary to ever achieve the promised autonomy.
