Customer Story Spotlight
Rivian has new models planned and a $5 billion partnership with Volkswagen Group that may enable the electric vehicle maker to emerge as a top software-defined vehicle provider. The journey for Rivian’s integrated vehicle stack includes a hefty dose of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and cloud computing.
The Rivian journey highlights how cloud and data transformations are required to take that next AI step. The payoff? VW will initially invest $1 billion in Rivian and another $4 billion over time. In return, Rivian will develop software for its vehicles as well as VW’s—as well as its hardware designs, electrical systems, and integrated platform largely powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Databricks.
