NHTSA Complaint #11486117 — 2022 RIVIAN R1T

I DO NOT OWN THIS VEHICLE. I WAS HOWEVER, INJURED BY THE DRIVER OF THE 2022 RIVIAN LAUNCH EDITION. I WAS REAR ENDED (WHILE I WAS STOPPED WAITING FOR A READ LIGHT) AT A RELATIVE HIGH SPEED FOR ROAD CONDITIONS. AFTER STUDYING THE OWNERS MANUAL, THERE ARE MULTIPLE COLLISION AVOIDANCE WARNINGS, AUDIBLE, VISUAL AND HAPTIC (VIBRATION OF THE STEERING WHEEL) WHEN A COLLISION IS IMMINENT. FURTHERMORE, THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING FEATURE AND BRAKE ASSIST SHOULD COMPLETELY PREVENTED ME FROM BEING REAR ENDED AND INJURED AS A RESULT. i APPEARS THAT THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY ACCELERATED INTO THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE. DUE TO THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE (7150LBS), THE "SKATEBOARD" LOW CENTER OF GRAVITY OF THE FRAME, THE 0-60MPH IN 3 SECONDS POWER (850HP - 908LB-FT TORQUE) AND THE PROTRUDING FRONT TOW HOOK, AND THE ABOVE SAFETY FEATURES NOT OPERATING AS DESIGNED, A HIGH CONCENTRATED AMOUNT OF FORCE STRUCK MY VEHICLE AND AS A RESULT IS WAS INJURED.
