Many versions appear to allow loopholes where drivers aren’t required to pay full attention to the road. A new post online seems to indicate that Rivian might have a solution for drivers who don’t follow the rules. Rivian’s Driver+ software is meant to reduce the workload on a driver so long as they remain diligent and ready to take over at any time.

Driver+ is designed to support drivers and does not replace their attention, judgment, and need to control the vehicle.”
