- Rivian will first deliver its point-to-point driving feature through a new invitation-only "Autonomy Early Access Program" detailed on a Rivian support page
- Selected owners must sign a non-disclosure agreement to participate, keeping the experience and any incidents out of public discussion
- Eligibility is limited to US R1 Gen 2 and R2 owners, with a payment requirement stated on the support page (amount truncated in source)
- The rollout structure — invite-only plus NDA — means early real-world performance data stays inside Rivian until a broader release
Why it matters: Rivian hands early hands-off highway capability to a vetted, paying R1 Gen 2 and R2 owner pool in the US, but the NDA ensures competitors and the public won't see how the system actually performs until Rivian chooses to widen access — turning early adopters into a controlled test fleet rather than an open beta.
