![]() ![]() And I'm seeing what's going on to my left and to my right while I'm trying to change lanes. So as soon as I let go of the stock, that camera is on. For example, the blind spot camera that when you turn the blinker on, that pops up in the dash- it loads way quicker than it used to. ![]() What's nice is that the rewriting of the software in the vehicle doesn't just make the infotainment system work quicker, which is great, but it also does, well, important things. And it does all this without cluttering up what you need to see while you're driving. But it will also show you what time you'll get there, how many minutes, how far away it is, and it'll tell you the state of charge upon arrival, which is actually quite nice. And with it, it'll show you your next turn and then, of course, the turn after it. It's very easy to very quickly figure out the information you need to know.Īnd now they've moved route by route directions into the dash cluster on the right-hand side. And well, while they've added something to it, it's still very easy to read. One of the things I've always liked about the Lucid is that it has a minimalistic dash cluster. And to be honest, I think they've done a pretty great job. They brought in a bunch of people from Apple and other Silicon Valley companies in order to make this work as quickly as possible- people that really know Over-the-Air updates. And having driven a couple Lucids, this thing is just so much quicker than it used to be.Īnd that is a good thing because when you're driving down the road, you don't want to click on something and then wait a moment because it reduces the amount of time you're looking at the road because you're waiting for something to happen. The entire system- in fact, Lucid tells me that 90% to 95% of the code for the infotainment system has been rewritten, has been redone so that it's quicker. And you can still listen to it while you're driving down the road.Īnd of course, it's not just the media that's been changed, that's been updated, that's been made quicker. You can still set it to hi-fi in this vehicle. And they really wanted to make sure, especially with Tidal, that the audio that you get is still high quality. You have enough buffered so that you can continue to listen to music. They work smoothly and that there was adequate buffering so that while you're driving- maybe you have five bars of connection, and then you go into an area with one bar, even zero bars connection. And what Lucid did is they worked very closely with Tidal and Spotify to make sure that the media controls work quickly. Media controls are- well, it's something that you use constantly, when you're driving a vehicle- probably more so than even your climate controls because you're always switching around, listening to new music. But enough customers, and I'm sure enough journalists like myself, had said something that you really need to move this over to the left. It was actually better for the passenger to actually deal with those buttons than it was for the driver. But if you don't, you're reaching way over here. Previously, they were on the right, which is great if you have long arms like myself. And that is that these hot keys, these hot buttons- the Home button, Navigation, Media, Phone. Once we're actually in the vehicle, though, you'll notice something right away. Now, as soon as I'm seated- actually, even before I'm seated- the display, the infotainment system, it's all ready to rock. ![]() It's ready to go, whereas before, you got in the car, you sat down, you waited a few moments, and then it came on. One of the things that owners will notice automatically- almost immediately- is the instant-on display.Īs soon as I opened the door, the display of this vehicle turns on. And for owners of Lucid Airs, well, those updates will be rolling out over the next few weeks. Lucid tells us that the new over-the-air update will bring dozens of new features. And we're going to take it for a spin and try it out. And it's done just that with the very engineery named Lucid UX 2.0. But the company wanted to do a major overhaul. We saw tweaks, updates, adjustments, all to make the UX easier to navigate and quicker. ![]()
