"Adapting Rust @ Rivian Cars: Coolest Tech to the Next-Gen EVs"
summary
Rivian applies Rust across tooling, cloud services, standalone car processes and selected embedded chips, with concrete wins: over-the-air updates working in production and messaging pipelines and CLI tools adopted by dev teams. Hard facts: C/C++ integration requires professional FFI wrappers, monorepos and CMake cause friction, Infineon toolchains lack Rust support, MISRA/certification status remains unresolved. Adoption pattern that works is tiger teams with junior devs plus an executive mandate and hire of Rust experts.
