Lucid Motors, the electric vehicle manufacturer known far and wide for their industry-leading technology, is preparing to push a highly-anticipated emergency software update. Save the date for July 30th! This software update brings hands-free highway-driving capabilities to the Lucid Air sedans. It’s a significant step forward for the company’s sought after, and increasingly controversial, advanced driver assistance system.
Planned features for the next software update included in Lucid’s Dream Drive Pro package. This development makes using autopilot to drive more convenient, making changes between lanes while only using your voice. So far, Lucid Motors has delivered just around 20k vehicles since going public in 2021. The company hasn’t disclosed how many customers have opted for the Dream Drive Pro package so far.
While admittedly thrilling with exciting new features, Lucid wants to remind drivers that they’re still responsible for staying alert. And above all else, stay safe and pay attention behind the wheel! Expect that you will have to seize control of the vehicle at a moment’s notice. This new safety measure highlights the need for drivers to remain engaged, even with the advanced technology helping them to navigate.
The Lucid Air sedan is an ambitious, technologically-advanced flagship model for Lucid Group. It’ll be one of the first vehicles to take advantage of this thrilling new software update! Lucid is taking a huge step in the other direction by recently introducing hands-free driving technology. This action deepens its promise to further develop the popular advanced driver assistance system.
As a forward-thinking manufacturer focused exclusively on making electric vehicles, Lucid Motors is committed to pioneering the cutting-edge of automotive tech. The recent introduction of hands-free integration comes as the industry moves overall in the direction of increased automation in driving. Continued focus on safety remains paramount.
