Rivian’s brilliant Halloween update includes excellent Knight Rider and Back to the Future costumes

Published: October 26, 2024
Rivian, a California-based electric vehicle manufacturer, has introduced an entertaining software update timed for Halloween, specifically for its R1T and R1S models. This update, available from October 18 to November 4, features two themed "car costumes": one inspired by K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider and another based on the DeLorean from Back to the Future. Owners can enjoy an immersive experience with K.I.T.T.’s diagnostics display and music, as well as special exterior lighting effects. The Back to the Future costume includes the iconic sound effects and a special button for "88mph" themed lighting. In addition to these fun features, the update includes seasonal sound effects for locking and unlocking the vehicle, transforms pedestrians into zombies on the driver display, and features amusing decorations for the vehicle’s camp mode, among other spooky elements. From a transportation standpoint, this kind of playful engagement demonstrates how software updates can enhance user experience and foster a deeper emotional connection between drivers and their vehicles. The ability to customize the driving experience not only provides enjoyment but could also drive brand loyalty. As vehicle technology continues to evolve, the integration of entertainment and software updates will likely play a significant role in future automotive marketing strategies.
