I sat down with James Philbin, Rivian's VP of Autonomy and AI, at the R2 media event to talk through where autonomy stands today and where it is heading. We covered what ships at R2 launch, the hardware changes under the skin, and the roadmap that takes UHF from where it is now all the way to point to point.

This is a clip from my full two days with the production R2. Watch the complete vlog with chapters here: youtu.be/5MG-96weg6I
