Ford/Rivian partnership was dead after less than 18 months.

Rivian's former partnership is a good reminder of who things can quickly change.

Ford and Rivian decided to cancel their joint electric vehicle project due to several factors.

One of the primary reasons was the complexity involved in integrating Rivian's electric architecture with Ford's software systems.

Rivian's electrical architecture is exactly what Volkswagen wants to get out of the JV! This technical challenge made the collaboration less feasible than initially anticipated.
