Check out these new features, improvements, and bug fixes found in Rivian Update 2023.14.00 (Internal Release)
New Gear Guard App With Drive Cam
The new Gear Guard app with Drive Cam allows you to:
- Record a 360-degree view of your entire drive with the onboard surround view and Gear Guard cameras.
- Manually record a 2-minute Drive Clips when you choose the record icon in the display or when you honk the horn for more than half a second.
- View 2-minute recordings that are automatically saved to internal storage during incidents such as hard braking or a collision. These clips include an additional 15 seconds of pre-incident footage.

Motion Cam, the former Gear Guard camera function, records motion and alarm events and saves them to internal storage while you are away from your vehicle.
Notes:
- The Drive Cam feature requires an external USB storage of at least 128 GB. We recommend devices that are rated for USB 3+ and are compatible with USB 2.
- You can review your entire drive recording by plugging the USB device into a PC or Mac.
