- Rivian is rolling out software update 2026.36, which includes a new Pet Cam feature that lets R2 owners check on a pet left in the vehicle through a live video feed in the Rivian app.
- Pet Cam is exclusive to the R2, while R1T and R1S owners receive new remote Pet Mode controls in the same update instead.
Why it matters: R2 owners get a live pet video stream unavailable to R1T and R1S owners, with the same update instead delivering upgraded remote Pet Mode controls to the older models — a clear feature split between Rivian's vehicle lines.
