Lucid Group has begun the rollout of its latest over-the-air software update for the Lucid Gravity SUV in North America, Lucid UX 3.6, which introduces hands-free driving capabilities along with enhancements to navigation, charging experience and everyday usability.

Hands-free driving

Hands-Free Drive Assist is designed to make highway driving more comfortable and can assist with steering, acceleration and braking on compatible highways. It is available for vehicles equipped with DreamDrive 2 Pro.

Hands-Free Lane Change Assist can guide the vehicle into an adjacent lane upon a turn signal made by the driver, only when it is safe to do so; and Automatic Lane Change can also initiate passing maneuvers to overtake slower traffic during highway driving.
