Owners of Lucid vehicles equipped with the DreamDrive Pro system will soon be able to drive hands-free.
The automaker announced hands-free drive assist and hands-free lane change assist are coming to its all-electric Air sedan and Gravity sport utility vehicle.
The hands-free driving features will be introduced in the vehicles as part of a major update to Lucid’s DreamDrive Pro suite of advanced driver assistance systems. Other enhancements will also be part of the update, Lucid said.
DreamDrive Pro is an optional upgrade on Lucid vehicles. The system features LiDAR, radar, visible-light cameras, surround-view cameras and ultrasonic sensors.
The hands-free features will be available on compatible divided highways.
The update will be done via over-the-air update.
Lucid Air cars will get this update July 30, while Gravity SUVs will get this update later this year.
Hands-free lane changes would be activated by the driver through the turn signal stalk.
“The addition of these features to Lucid’s DreamDrive Pro offers a glimpse into the future that Lucid is building with the impressive capabilities of our software-defined vehicles,” said Kai Stepper, vice president of advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving at Lucid, in a news release.
“With our in-house software stack, a comprehensive suite of 32 sensors, and regular OTA updates, we have a road map to continue to deliver significantly more functionality to our owners in the future.”
