Rivian is bringing a huge update to the Rivian R1S, its premium electric SUV. Here's everything that's new in the second-generation model.

The Rivian R1S is arguably the best large electric SUV out there, especially for those who want three rows of seats and are willing to pay a premium. The vehicle offers a rugged build, excellent software, a great range, and a sleek design. Only around two years after the original Rivian R1S began rolling out to first buyers, Rivian has launched a new, second-generation version of the vehicle.

The frunk of the vehicle is a little smaller, and that seems to be owed to some components being moved from other areas of the vehicle to the front. There are more convenient ways to get into the car too. Rivian has added new ultra-wideband support to the vehicle, allowing Apple users to use Apple Car Key in the Apple Wallet app. This feature is also available on select Pixel phones, and is expected to roll out to more Android phones in the future.

Rivian is taking its autonomous driving system a little more seriously too. The new R1S has 11 cameras and five radars dotted around it, and the system can perform 250 trillion operations per second . Rivian puts this into context by claiming that the cameras can see 10 seconds ahead at highway speeds, which is very impressive, and gives the car plenty of time to make critical decisions.
