AI Summary

Rivian's CEO has expressed a belief that prices for self-driving software will decrease over time. This perspective is comparable to the CEO's view that airbags, once a paid option, are now standard in every vehicle. The implication is that self-driving technology will follow a similar trajectory, becoming a standard feature rather than an additional cost. The comments from Rivian's CEO are notable in light of Tesla's recent decision to move its Full Self-Driving package to a subscription-based model.
