Our guest today is Wassym Bensaid, the chief software officer at Rivian, and the co-ceo of Rivian’s platform joint venture with Volkswagen. That joint venture, called RV Tech, is about a year and a half old, so we wanted to ask Wassym how it all works and Rivian’s ongoing relationship with Volkswagen.
