The Lucid Air’s stereo can alert drivers to threats in a directional manner, meaning an oncoming vehicle on the driver’s side would trigger an audio alert on that side of the car stereo.ĭreamDrive also features Highway Assist, a group of features that enable semi-autonomous driving in limited scenarios. The DreamDrive system offers a complex human interface that delivers alerts via the car’s 21-speaker stereo system and surround-view monitoring cameras. Lucid is not promising a self-driving car and instead focuses heavily on the driver’s role in vehicle safety systems. Lucid says that the solid-state lidar sensor will generate “high-resolution data with an ultra-wide field of view” that will detect obstacles better than human drivers can.

DreamDrive Pro adds lidar, making it the first automotive installation of the hardware in North America. Lucid’s DreamDrive system uses up to 32 sensors to form a picture of the world around the car, including 14 visible-light cameras, five radar units, four surround-view cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and more. Called DreamDrive and DreamDrive Pro, the option groups package together several popular advanced driver aids. Today, Lucid announced the Air’s advanced driving assistance systems ( ADAS), including collision avoidance, traffic jam assist, and more. Recently, we learned about the upcoming Lucid Air electric vehicle’s (EV) impressive range estimates, but the car’s safety equipment may put it on many shoppers’ lists.
