The acquisition brings Third Dimension's 15-person team into Rivian's autonomy and AI division and supports expansion of its AI hub in London. Third Dimension's AI-driven simulation tech will help Rivian create more realistic virtual environments for training self-driving systems, using extensive driving data collected from Rivian vehicles on the road.
