NEWARK,
Calif., Sept. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lucid Group,
Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID), maker of the world's most advanced electric
vehicles, today launched Lucid UX 2.4, a major software update for
the Lucid Air. It introduces an enhanced version of DreamDrive Pro,
Lucid's optional Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), with
improved capabilities, including new 3D lane visualization; Lucid
Assistant, a new voice control system; an updated map design for
improved legibility; and much more.
"Lucid UX 2.4 introduces an array of new features and
improvements to make every trip more satisfying," said Dr.
Jean-Philippe Gauthier, Head of
Software Engineering for Lucid. "This release also marks the
transition of DreamDrive Pro Highway Assist features to our
in-house Lucid software stack, paving the way for further
continuous improvements."
Enhanced Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
Enhancements to Lucid's optional DreamDrive Pro Advanced Driver
Assistance System (ADAS) include:
- Highway Assist: Now utilizing high-definition maps that provide
more detailed information on HOV lanes, exit scenarios, and lane
merges and splits. Highway assist can also be engaged on curves,
offering more adaptive and responsive driving.
- Driver-Initiated Lane Change Assist: Allows drivers to initiate
lane changes with a simple long press of the turn signal, supported
by clear notifications and arrows on the user interface.
- Extended Stop and Go: In heavy stop-and-go driving the vehicle
will resume traveling after longer stops in traffic if the driver
is still looking ahead.
- 3D Three-Lane Visualization: Lucid has leveraged the Air's
on-board sensor suite to create a 3D lane visualization on the
center screen, offering drivers an additional view of their
surroundings when on the highway and laying the foundation for
expanded functions planned for future introduction.
Additionally, Lucid's revised Adaptive Cruise Control system
introduces automatic curve speed control to the Lucid Air, for
easier use on winding roads.
Hey Lucid!
Lucid Assistant is Lucid's new hands-free voice assistant, an
easy and intuitive way to control many vehicle functions by
speaking. Just press the microphone button on the steering wheel or
say "Hey Lucid" to control navigation and audio systems, change the
climate control, turn on heated seats, access the owner's manual,
and more. (Note: Lucid Assistant replaces Alexa in the vehicle.)
Drivers can choose to activate or deactivate Lucid Assistant in the
vehicle settings menu.
Wireless Apple CarPlay® Integration in the Instrument
Cluster
Turn-by-turn instructions are now also displayed in the center
instrument cluster when using Apple CarPlay to navigate.
As Requested by Lucid Owners, Further Updates for a Better
User Experience
- Park Distance Warning, Surround
View Monitoring, and Rear View Monitoring screens now automatically
close when vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph.
- HomeLink universal device on-screen controls are displayed
while the vehicle is in reverse.
- The Lucid Mobile App now connects to the car much faster, is
more responsive to command inputs, and now enables User Profile
attributes to be updated from within the app.
The Lucid UX 2.4 release begins its roll out today in
North America as an over-the-air
update. The Lucid Air was designed from the ground up to be as easy
to update as a typical smartphone. Owners receive a notification in
the car and in the Lucid mobile app whenever a new software version
is available. They can then choose whether to start the
installation right away or schedule it for a convenient time, such
as overnight. Using the Lucid mobile app, owners can even install
their car's latest software updates when they are nowhere near
their car, whether that's the office, their living room, or sitting
aboard a Wi-Fi-enabled airplane.
DreamDrive, DreamDrive Pro, and the Air's safety suite are a
supplement to, not a substitution for, attentive driving. They are
not meant to replace mirrors or a driver's focused attention, and
they should not be relied upon completely to avoid accidents.
