Investing.com - Rivian Automotive Inc (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock rose up to 1% Tuesday after the electric vehicle manufacturer announced a partnership with Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) to integrate Google Maps into its navigation system.
The collaboration, announced in a Google blog post, introduces "Rivian Navigation with Google Maps," which utilizes Google's Maps Auto SDK technology while maintaining Rivian's distinctive in-car design elements. This new system began rolling out to all Rivian vehicle owners Tuesday.
Rivian drivers will now have access to Google Maps' routing capabilities, estimated arrival times, traffic insights, satellite imagery, and location information while retaining Rivian-specific features such as EV charging stop planning and Charging Scores.
The Google Maps Auto SDK allows automakers to design customized navigation systems while leveraging Google's mapping technology and comprehensive location data. Google indicated it is working with other automotive manufacturers to develop similar custom navigation experiences.
The partnership represents an enhancement to Rivian's in-vehicle technology offerings as the company continues to compete in the growing electric vehicle market against established players like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and traditional automakers expanding their EV lineups.
