This is long term the right choice. Tesla has the best software competency of any manufacture and if you want to compete with them you can't offload major bits of functionality to a third party. At this point in our software journey in cars, user experience is everything. If I can't have a car that I walk up to with my phone in my pocket and get in and drive, with automatic doors unlocking, and all my settings automatically set to me, then its a net loss.

I can barely get my phone to reliably pair with my Ford, but my Tesla always picks up me as the driver and just does everything correctly. Rivian needs to offer me that same level of polish to be competitive.

Being able to support a virtual QNX session doesn’t seem like that big of a deal.
