Lucid Group, Inc. maker of the world's most advanced electric vehicles, today launched Lucid UX 2.4, a major software update for the Lucid Air. It introduces an enhanced version of DreamDrive Pro, Lucid's optional Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), with improved capabilities, including new 3D lane visualization; Lucid Assistant, a new voice control system; an updated map design for improved legibility; and much more.

"Lucid UX 2.4 introduces an array of new features and improvements to make every trip more satisfying," said Dr. Jean-Philippe Gauthier, Head of Software Engineering for Lucid. "This release also marks the transition of DreamDrive Pro Highway Assist features to our in-house Lucid software stack, paving the way for further continuous improvements."

Lucid Assistant is Lucid's new hands-free voice assistant, an easy and intuitive way to control many vehicle functions by speaking. Just press the microphone button on the steering wheel or say "Hey Lucid" to control navigation and audio systems, change the climate control, turn on heated seats, access the owner's manual, and more.

The Lucid UX 2.4 release begins its roll out today in North America as an over-the-air update. The Lucid Air was designed from the ground up to be as easy to update as a typical smartphone. Owners receive a notification in the car and in the Lucid mobile app whenever a new software version is available. They can then choose whether to start the installation right away or schedule it for a convenient time, such as overnight.

Using the Lucid mobile app, owners can even install their car's latest software updates when they are nowhere near their car, whether that's the office, their living room, or sitting aboard a Wi-Fi-enabled airplane.

DreamDrive, DreamDrive Pro, and the Air's safety suite are a supplement to, not a substitution for, attentive driving. They are not meant to replace mirrors or a driver's focused attention, and they should not be relied upon completely to avoid accidents.
