*Summarized by AI

Lucid Group has begun rolling out an over-the-air software update for its Gravity SUV in North America that enables hands-free highway driving and several navigation, charging, and vehicle-use features.

The update introduces hands-free drive assist for vehicles equipped with DreamDrive 2 Pro. The system supports steering, acceleration and braking on compatible highways while requiring drivers to remain attentive to the road.

The update also adds hands-free lane change, which can guide the vehicle into an adjacent lane after the driver signals when conditions allow, and automatic lane change, which can steer passing maneuvers around slower traffic.


Lucid also updated its navigation system by integrating Google Maps Places API. The change provides additional information in search results, including business details, ratings, photos, and parking information.

Charging station listings now include more detailed availability information and recent imagery.

For vehicles equipped with DreamDrive Premium or DreamDrive 2 Pro, the update adds adaptive driving beam headlights. The feature maintains high beams while adjusting light output around other vehicles to reduce glare.
The software package also includes new charging-related tools.

Advanced preconditioning view provides information about battery temperature before charging, while predictive charging power offers an estimate of expected peak charging performance before a vehicle is plugged in.
The update applies to Gravity vehicles in North America. Availability in other markets will be announced later.
