Get ready for a spooky ride this Halloween! Rivian Automotive, the electric vehicle startup, is launching a limited-time software update on October 18th that will transform your driving experience into a haunted adventure.
The update, which was announced in a video featuring the iconic David Hasselhoff (yes, *that* Knight Rider), brings a host of spooky features to your Rivian. The highlight? Car costumes inspired by iconic pop culture vehicles, including a special tribute to K.I.T.T., the robotic automobile from the legendary Knight Rider series.
Imagine cruising in your Rivian, transformed into the sleek, iconic Knight Rider car, complete with the signature red lightbar cascading down the vehicle’s exterior. It’s a true throwback for fans of the classic show.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. Other car costumes include a Back to the Future-inspired time machine, allowing you to travel through time (in style), and a spooky option that will truly give you chills. The haunted Rivian costume features eight different sound effects, three color themes to choose from (purple, yellow, red, and green), and static and ghosts appearing on the interior display for an extra dose of spookiness.
The update also adds a touch of Halloween magic to your everyday drive. Pedestrians on the driver display transform into zombies, while bicyclists and motorcyclists become headless horsemen, adding a touch of eerie ambiance to your commute. You can even play multiple spooky chirp sounds, including one resembling the iconic owl.
However, this Halloween update is just a temporary treat. The spooky features will be available for a limited time, only until November 4th. So get ready to experience the thrills of Halloween with Rivian’s software update. Just make sure you update both your vehicle and the Rivian mobile app to the latest versions to enjoy the full spooky experience!
