Rivian Driving Aid: Driving comfort assist expected later this year

I have previously used the streaming capability back when it first came out as well as the hotspot since before Connect+ was a thing. I am trying to get the streaming working again but it seems to have been hidden fully behind the paywall. (Not looking to argue the merits of that system here) I recall after Connect+ came out being able to still use the Hotspot while tethering with my phone, and losing it isn't a big deal other than needing to update my wife's wifi, but I think I remember needing to be on the Hotspot to do casting. My question is, did Rivian remove both of these features to fully behind the connect+ paywall? I thought that if you used phone tethering or if you were connected to WIFI you could use most all of the usual streaming like features of the Rivian? If anyone can recommend how to stream while using tethering I'm sure myself and others without Connect+ would appreciate it.

I noticed a new feature is now shown under the Autonomy platform on Rivians website, don't know if anyone else has seen it. It's the Driving Comfort Assist feature and it's expected to drop this year. Maybe with a future update.

It's function is to basically help you intelligently adjust your speed and lane position based on traffic conditions or other cars around you.

I'm kind of looking forward to this one, I think lane biasing in situations where the car next to you is creeping a little too close will make the highway assist feel much better.
