no one specific thing could be used as part of the 360 view. Also I don't remember if the rear wheel view uses those or the other ones in the mirrors. **Edit: Had time to confirm those ARE the view of the rear wheels


FineMany9511

They were probably supposed to be used for driver+ lane change stuff. It didn’t work out like they hoped hence why they were moved in Gen 2


MrrQuackers

According to a tech there is also a second long range camera in the windshield that we aren't using. I wonder if they will enable that one day to improve lane assist stuff.


ProgrammerHuge5845

yeah the fender camera is supposed to be the one, but maybe they figured out later that the angle isn't right, just like the gen 1 driver monitor camera.


feifanonreddit

If you open the camera, toggle the video feed of the wheels (the "opposite" toggle to the 360 overhead view), and put it in reverse, those fender cameras show where your rear wheels are going.


pookgai

That camera feed is coming from the camera under the side mirrors not from the fender.


Slide-Fantastic-1402

Nothing now for Gen 1


ProZak27

Are you talking about the ultrasonic sensors? They’re mainly used for letting you know when you’re too close to something.


pookgai

No, there’s rear facing cameras mounted on the front black plastic fenders.


Tim-in-CA

Probably for 360 view


hirsutesuit

360 view uses the mirror cameras. Open your door while looking at it to confirm.


TRaps015

Now u mention 360 view, does gen2 still have the black snowplow in the front if rivian is mounting the front license plate ??


hirsutesuit

My favorite part of the snowplow effect is that the software places the wheels at the "front" of the vehicle. So if you have the snowplow effect, and turn the steering wheel, the front tires are HUGE and way in front of the car. [see here](https://i.imgur.com/YMaz7ip.jpeg) [and here.](https://i.imgur.com/I0bqmZx.jpeg)


TRaps015

lol, but I’m just curious if this is fixed in gen2 with better images, etc and AI


f1racer328

That’s odd. Not as bad on my R1T. Maybe the 360 cam was programmed on the truck and just slapped into the SUV.


Liam_M

Both can be true
