Yes rivets are still sometimes used in manufacturing such as in truck frames etc where strength is required.

However most times welds or bolts are now used since the bolts require less skill than riveting although welding is strong than a bolt when done correctly.

Welding for bridges, buildings etc require a person who has great welding skills to make the bridge or building strong and safe.

Rivets used to be used a lot when building skyscrapers, bridges etc but now mostly bolts or welding are used to construct those things.

Rivets aren't used as much as they used to be after welding and bolts came into use.
