Anyone expecting automatic lane change to be the next RAP+ feature? It wouldn't surprise me to drop in 2025.46 right after getting demos at Rivian's Autonomy and AI Day. I expect something from that day to make it into the next software release...

Today, a patent application was published for "vehicle accessory port and plug" which shows off what Rivian had in mind for the accessory mounting points on the vehicle. Maybe these are future accessories on the Gear Shop?
