The integration of Rivian's software is expected to start with the Volkswagen brand, followed by Audi as well as VW's forthcoming Scout brand, Blume said. He also mentioned "sports cars" could be included but did not specify which brand. VW's brands also include Bentley, Porsche and Lamborghini, among others.

"We're thrilled to see our technology being integrated in vehicles outside of Rivian, and we're excited for the future," Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe said in a statement.
