Rivian’s getting into the Halloween spirit by adding new “car costumes” to its electric vehicles that can theme out its screens to look like the Time Machine interface from Back to the Future or KITT from Knight Rider. (It’ll animate red KITT-like scanner lights on the front of the car, too.) There’s also a non-IP-specific “Haunted” theme that displays a ghostly static TV screen inside the car.
The costumes will come via a software update Rivian will roll out right after midnight local time tonight (October 18th at 12:01am). R1T and R1S vehicles must already have the 2024.39 update installed to get the new features, as well as the latest version of the mobile app.
