Rivian announced on Oct. 22 that it had acquired Third Dimension AI, Inc., adding software that lets its engineers test driver-assistance and autonomous-driving systems in changeable virtual driving environments. The platform turns real-world data into controllable 3D simulations. Engineers can recreate a driving scenario and alter its conditions to see how systems respond, including in challenging situations that may be rare on public roads. The simulations are intended to support system development and validation. Third Dimension’s leaders and technical personnel are expected to join Rivian’s research and engineering groups focused on autonomy.
