<\/p>\nRivian, the California-based maker of the R1S and R1T all-electric adventure vehicles, has released a software update that brings a bit of fun ahead of this year\u2019s Halloween, including pumpkins, zombies, and witches.<\/p>\n
Bearing the version number 2023.38.00, the over-the-air (OTA) software update unlocked its holiday-themed goodies on October 21 on both the SUV and pickup, when it added a new \u201cHalloween\u201d tab in the Settings screen of the in-vehicle infotainment system, plus a \u201cMake it Spooky\u201d option that, when pressed, will make a number of magic-like tricks happen.<\/p>\n
First, when in the ADAS view, the people identified by the car\u2019s sensors and cameras will be made to look like zombies and witches, including pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Moreover, when the gear tunnel, frunk, or a door is opened, it will make a pumpkin roll out \u2013 but only on the car\u2019s screen, so don\u2019t expect one to appear out of nowhere, like the video embedded at the top of this page shows.<\/p>\n
And last but not least, when the R1S or R1T is locked or unlocked, the car will make the organ sound from Toccata<\/em> in D Minor, replacing the standard chirping sound, for a bit of extra Halloween spirit.<\/p>\n
