u/wassymrivian Why Is Gen1 Not Getting The “Go Chime”? What’s The Gen1 Limitation For This? I Don’t See A Reason.

u/wassymrivian I’m really curious why Gen1 is not getting the Go Chime that was announced for Gen2 only.

Gen1 has front ultrasonic sensors, front radar, and a front facing camera. It should be more than capable of this feature.

In the release notes it says it uses the vehicle in front to notify the driver. So I’m assuming it does not read the traffic lights in real time. And if the argument is that Gen1 cameras are not capable then instead use Gen1’s front radar system.

My Volvo had this same feature called (ready to drive) and it used the front facing radar. Dashcams from 10 years ago have this feature built in using their camera.

I’m not understanding the limitation to only Gen2 vehicles unless… Rivian is locking this feature down for some reason.
