Rivian, the California-based startup that makes the R1S, R1T, and R2 EVs, wants to flood its car factories with robots. In an interview with Kleiner Perkins, RJ Scaringe, the company’s founder and CEO, said that as much as 80% of the assembly line tasks will be automated, and it’s all thanks to the Mind Robotics spinoff established last year.

 

We don’t know when the robot revolution will hit Rivian’s factory floors, but Scaringe said that things will start off at a smaller scale.
