Rivian Assistant: Giving Your Car a Brain of Its Own
About this event
Ever wished your car actually understood you—not just your voice commands, but your intent?
Join us for an event co-hosted by Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies.
On Wednesday, June 24, at 6.30 PM, at the RV Tech Belgrade Tech Center (Omladinskih brigada 88v), engineers from Rivian Volkswagen Group Technologies will share how they are building the Rivian Assistant, an AI-powered in-car assistant designed to understand natural language and interact directly with vehicle systems.

Abstract
We are excited to introduce a deep dive into the Rivian Assistant, the next generation of AI that goes far beyond standard voice control. Unlike basic systems that just read the weather, this assistant is deeply hardwired into the vehicle's hardware and software. Want to drop the ride height, pop the frunk, and heat up every seat in the cabin except yours in a single, natural sentence? Done.
But here is where it gets truly dazzling: we are bringing Edge AI directly onto the road. By running advanced voice and optimized language models locally on the vehicle's own hardware, we are cutting the cloud cord for core features. That means zero lag, total privacy, and ultimate in-car intelligence that stays active even when you drive off the grid.
And here is the best part: the brains behind this technology are being shaped right here by our Belgrade team.
Join us to hear firsthand what we are creating and driving forward on a global scale. Come by, connect with our engineers, and get a closer look at the future of automotive intelligence - developed right here in Belgrade.
