I drove Tesla FSD, Rivian Autonomy+ ‘hands-free’ driving systems. Here’s how they compare

Rivian Autonomy+ outperforms Super Cruise on highways but remains behind Tesla FSD in full self-driving capabilities. Rivian is launching point-to-point driving for some owners this year, with a broader rollout to all owners planned for 2027. While Rivian is closing the technological gap with Tesla, it has not yet reached parity.
