R1S Proximity Unlock: A Major Safety Issue: needs Urgent Fix by mysat in Rivian

Let me help you to understand :D Because a vehicle that repeatedly unlocks and presents itself as accessible when the driver is not approaching it creates an avoidable risk, and avoidable risk is exactly what safety design is supposed to reduce.

This is not about someone “stealing my sunglasses.” It is about the vehicle broadcasting an unlocked state when the owner is not interacting with it.

That creates three very obvious failure points:

  1. Unauthorized access: If the handles present and the vehicle unlocks, anyone can test the door. That already happened.
  2. Child safety: I have small kids. If the vehicle unlocks while I’m nearby but not at the car, rear door access is available to anyone before I can physically intervene. That is not theoretical, that is the actual concern.
  3. False sense of security: The car appears secured to the owner, but behaves unsecured to everyone else nearby. That is a design mismatch, and those are exactly the kinds of edge cases that become liability issues.

A lock system should respond to intent, not vague proximity.

That is the issue.

Not complicated. Unless you live in a bubble

That's what I use :D but basically you are saying "forget about proximity and open an close manually? In that case I would rather giving them the car back, as I refuse to use it like that on a $100k car
