Overview

• In early August, Rivian posted public job listings for senior steering roles that explicitly reference steer-by-wire and rear-wheel steering development.
• The listings stipulate “full cradle-to-grave ownership” of the steer-by-wire subsystem, indicating a strategic technical program.
• The role’s mandate to brief investors on subsystem progress suggests Rivian may share updates in upcoming earnings calls or investor communications.
• A Rivian spokesperson declined to confirm any future product details, underscoring that rollout timing remains unannounced.
• Industry analysts speculate the technology could debut on the smaller R2 in 2026 or accompany a broader vehicle refresh around 2028, though plans are still unconfirmed.
