Rivian CEO taking different approach than Elon Musk for humanoid robotics company
"A big part of structuring the business was to allow me to be able to spend time on both."The robotics strategy adds to a narrative of Scaringe doing things differently than Musk, despite obvious similarities in their companies. "But in terms of the products, they, in many ways, couldn't be more different."So far Rivian and Mind are assisting each other, though, much like Musk's companies have also done during developmental phases. That includes Musk's xAI company merging with SpaceX before the company's record-setting initial public offering on Friday as well as SpaceX purchasing vehicles from Tesla.Scaringe said Rivian will be a "huge beneficiary" of Mind, which is using data from Rivian for training its AI models.
