Exploring partnerships within the automotive landscape, a $5.8 billion collaboration between Volkswagen (VW) and Rivian has emerged. Reports indicate the two companies are developing an electronic architecture tailored for future vehicles. This new technology is set to control various functions, significantly reducing control units from about 100 to just seven. Initial models expected to utilize this architecture include all-electric versions of classic cars from Volkswagen, such as the Golf, alongside models from Rivian and the newly-restructured Scout brand.
