Rivian allows you to disable all internet connectivity

Rivian is reportedly letting owners disable all internet connectivity in its vehicles.

The move sparked debate over what features may break without network access, including lane-keeping assistance and cloud-linked services.

Commenters also questioned how software recalls and fixes would be delivered if a car is offline.

The discussion underscores a broader EV policy issue: owners may want privacy, but manufacturers still need reliable offline paths for updates and safety repairs.
