Lucid Group to roll out hands-free assist tools in new update later this month

Lucid Group (LCID) announced a major update to its DreamDrive Pro suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems to deliver Hands-Free Drive Assist and Hands-Free Lane Change Assist to its award-winning lineup of electric vehicles. These and other vehicle enhancements will be available as an over-the-air update for Lucid Air owners, scheduled for July 30, and for Lucid Gravity owners later this year. The updates to DreamDrive Pro will allow customers to experience easy to use and intuitive hands-free driving and hands-free lane changes, with driver activation of the turn signal stalk, on compatible divided highways, the company said. “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 ADAS and AD at Lucid. “With our in-house software stack, a comprehensive suite of 32 sensors, and regular OTA updates, we have a roadmap to continue to deliver significantly more functionality to our owners in the future.”
