Lucid Delivers Software Update With New Advanced Driver Assist & Convenience Features

Lucid Group, Inc., a US-based maker of advanced electric vehicles (EVs), has 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.

Silicon Valley-based Lucid has leveraged the Air's on-board sensor suite to create a 3D lane visualisation on the centre screen, offering drivers an additional view of their surroundings when on the highway and laying the foundation for expanded functions planned for future introduction.

Lucid Assistant is the company's new hands-free voice assistant.

It works by pressing the microphone button on the steering wheel or saying "Hey Lucid" to control navigation and audio systems, change the climate control, turn on heated seats, access the owner's manual, and more. 

Lucid Assistant replaces Amazon's Alexa in the vehicle.

The Lucid UX 2.4 release begins its roll out today in North America as an over-the-air (OTA) update. 

Dr. Jean-Philippe Gauthier, Head of Software Engineering for Lucid. "Lucid UX 2.4 introduces an array of new features and improvements to make every trip more satisfying. 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."

Lucid is currently preparing its state-of-the-art, vertically integrated factory in Arizona to begin production of the Lucid Gravity SUV.
