In a new OTA software update, Lucid Motors has added a number of new features to its DreamDrive driver assistance system of the Lucid Air . Improvements to the Air's navigation system and Access & Profiles menu, as well as several other minor tweaks are included in the new Software Version 1.1.4 upgrade.
Lucid had the following to say:
“With this update, we’re launching new features for DreamDrive, our advanced driver assistance system. This DreamDrive update will occur in two parts. We’re also enhancing vehicle and infotainment system performance for an improved overall user experience.
Adaptive Cruise Control is not active in this version 1.1.4, though you may notice minor display changes made in preparation for its deployment. Adaptive Cruise Control will be made available in your next over-the-air update (version 1.1.5).”
The following features are available to Lucid owners:
- Traffic Sign Recognition
Traffic sign recognition uses Lucid Air’s front camera to identify important road signs. It can alert the driver if the speed limit changes or if he is driving against the flow of traffic, assisting him in adhering to the regulations of the road.
- Traffic Drive-Off Alert
Traffic Drive-Off Alert will gently notify you if the vehicle in front of you has moved but yours has not.
- Lane Departure Protection
Lane Departure Protection keeps your Lucid Air from drifting out of the driving lane accidentally. If it detects an unintended departure, it will warn you and, if necessary, conduct corrective steering to bring your vehicle back into the lane.
- Cross Traffic Protection
Cross Traffic Protection warns you if there is a risk of collision with another vehicle approaching from either direction, both in front of or behind you. It will initiate emergency braking if needed to avoid impact.

- Automatic Emergency Braking
Your vehicle is capable of detecting objects in your path, including other vehicles, cyclists, or pedestrians. If the vehicle determines a collision is imminent, it will warn you, then initiate Automatic Emergency Braking to avoid or reduce the severity of the impact. Note your vehicle may not detect stationary objects in time to avoid a collision at certain speeds.
This was the first Part ( Part 1) update of the whole upgrading process, it was meant to be released in early January, but it was pushed back till this February. It's unclear when Part 2 will be released, but it should happen shortly. Air drivers could have one of the best semi-autonomous systems on the market after both updates are completed.
