DreamDrive

Available on DreamDrive2 Pro–equipped vehicles only.

• Hands-Free Driving: New Hands-Free Drive Assist helps steer, accelerate, and brake on select roads. When the turn signal is activated, Hands-Free Lane Change Assist can steer your vehicle into the adjacent lane for you when Hands-Free Drive Assist is active. To initiate a hands-free lane change, activate your turn signal in the direction of the lane you would like to move into. When it is safe to do so, your vehicle will automatically steer into that lane and re-center itself. To cancel a lane change, activate your turn signal in the opposite direction. If hands-free features are not available, DreamDrive will default to hands-on features.

These new hands-free features will be enabled by default. You can customize them in your DreamDrive settings.

Note: The sensors and cameras that power Drive Assist need to be calibrated the first time you use it. To calibrate the sensors, drive for at least 30 minutes on straight highways with at least one lane on either side of your vehicle, ideally with clear road markings. Once Drive Assist is ready, a steering icon will appear next to the speedometer on the Clearview Cockpit when DreamDrive is enabled. See your Owner’s Manual for more details.

• Automatic Lane Change: Your vehicle can now change lanes for you when it is safe to smoothly overtake slower vehicles. If the lane change involves moving into a passing lane, your vehicle will also move back into your original lane to complete the maneuver and keep traffic flowing. This new feature is on by default. You can disable it in your DreamDrive settings. 

• Changing lanes manually or canceling a lane-change maneuver will temporarily disable Automatic Lane Changes. See your Owner’s Manual for more information.

• In North America, hands-free features and automatic lane changes are only available on select highways. These features require Lucid Gravity’s Driver Monitoring System to check that the driver is attentive and has a clear view of the road, and may require seat or steering wheel adjustments.

• Customized Driving Style: Pick a driving style for DreamDrive’s driver assistance features that aligns with your personal comfort behind the wheel. Conservative will give you fewer lane-change maneuvers, particularly in heavy traffic, while Assertive will change lanes more often. In all cases, your vehicle will only change lanes when it is safe to do so. Find and adjust these driving styles in your DreamDrive settings.

• Enhanced traffic visualization: When Adaptive Cruise Control or Drive Assist is active, a real-time visualization of up to five lanes of traffic and the road users around your vehicle will be displayed on the Clearview Cockpit, helping you see what your eyes cannot while your driver assistance features are active. The visualization now more accurately portrays SUVs, pickup trucks, and buses, and if another vehicle is preventing an assisted or hands-free lane change, it will be highlighted.

Smart Energy

The new Advanced Preconditioning View and Predictive Charging Power give you a better understanding of your vehicle’s preconditioning progress to help you optimize DC fast charging.

When preconditioning for fast charging, a new battery readiness indicator shows your progress toward the optimal target temperature range for fast charging. See a real-time estimate of the peak charging power your vehicle is ready to receive before you plug in, based on your current battery temperature, battery level, and other vehicle conditions. With this information, you can decide to precondition a little longer to optimize your peak charging power, or plug in right away.

Enable this feature in Energy > Charging > Settings. 

• Energy Save Mode: Energy Saver Mode helps prioritize range to help you go the extra mile. Now, when Energy Saver Mode is on, you can still control some climate settings for greater comfort. Climate will run in Auto to optimize your estimated range, now with more flexible temperature controls. Some Climate settings will still be unavailable when Energy Saver Mode is on. If you would like to change them in the moment, you can disable Energy Saver Mode with just one tap.

• Energy Insights: The values displayed in your Efficiency Widget and Trip Meter on the Clearview Cockpit are now even more accurate to give you a better sense of how you’re driving and how to drive more efficiently.

• Energy Improvements: Your Lucid Gravity charging experience is now better than ever. Your vehicle now uses even less energy when in Park and will now prioritize only necessary battery alerts, so you know when you should find a charging station.

• Energy Range Settings via Mobile App: Lucid mobile app now supports all three range settings: Rated, Percentage, and Dynamic.

Navigation

• Better Places Search in Lucid Navigation: Lucid Navigation now uses the Google Maps Places API to provide richer, more reliable information about every destination with every search. Enjoy fresher results, more accurate business details, and useful place insights, including ratings, photos, and parking information. 

See the real driving distance to potential destinations, rather than estimates, to make more informed choices about where to go.

View more comprehensive charging station results that now include recent photos and better real-time charger availability, so you can know more before you go and route to the best station for you.

Simply use the on-screen search bar to find destinations more naturally. For example, just type: “Vietnamese restaurants near me” and see relevant, up-to-date results instantly.

Note: Places data from Google Maps is available only when your vehicle is connected to the internet.

Lights & Mirrors

• Adaptive Driving Beam for DreamDrive Premium & DreamDrive Pro: See the road ahead more brightly for increased safety and confidence while driving at night with Adaptive Driving Beam. When enabled, Adaptive Driving Beam keeps your high beams on most of the time whenever you are traveling above 25 mph (40 kmh) in non-urban areas, making it easier to see the road and any obstacles in your path. To avoid blinding other drivers, your high-tech headlamps automatically adjust the shape of the beam around other vehicles, reducing glare without compromising visibility. To enable, go to Settings > Vehicle > Exterior Lighting.

• Mirror Tilt - More control while reversing: When reversing, you can now choose to tilt the driver-side mirror, passenger-side mirror, or both for improved visibility.

Access & Keys

• Auto Lock & Unlock: When Auto Lock & Unlock is enabled, your vehicle will now detect your approach sooner and extend the door handles earlier, so they are ready to open when you are ready to go. 

When Auto Lock & Unlock is disabled, if your vehicle is unlocked, unoccupied, and no recognized key is in range, it will now go to sleep faster to save energy.

Media

We have made overall enhancements to the Media experience in your vehicle, including improved native and third-party app performance and switching, more reliable audio playback, more reliable Favorites and History saving, and fixes to the user interface.

• Simplified Device Switching: Switch between your paired Bluetooth® devices and manage them more easily with faster, more intuitive access to your device settings from both your Media and Phone apps. Select the device you would like to use and stay connected so your calls and tunes are always in sync.

• Android Auto: Android Auto is now even better. We have improved the steering wheel control response to skip songs, problems with playback and app stability, and made enhancements to the user interface and how Android Auto reconnects automatically.

• Apple CarPlay: Apple CarPlay is also even better. We have improved app stability to keep your displays from freezing and the reliability of your volume controls when CarPlay is in use. We also made improvements to how album art displays and how CarPlay reconnects automatically when your vehicle wakes up.

Mobile App

• Trip Sharing from your Smartphone: Share a destination you have found on a third-party map app or in the Lucid mobile app with your vehicle to find an EV-optimized route. You should be logged into the vehicle for this feature to be functional.

Security

• Halo Secure Drive Recorder: Drive Recorder is available when your vehicle is parked and occupied to capture footage of the unexpected, even when you aren’t driving. Reviewing recordings in fisheye view is now easier, with corrected perspective and improved clarity.
