Lucid joins Tesla and GM with hands-free highway driving

Lucid, the electric vehicle manufacturer, has joined the ranks of Tesla and GM by introducing hands-free highway driving capability for its Air sedan models equipped with the DreamDrive Pro package. This feature, delivered through an over-the-air software update, allows drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel while on the highway, provided they keep their eyes on the road. The company also announced that the hands-free driving capability will be extended to its upcoming Gravity SUV model. This move aligns Lucid with the growing trend in the EV industry to offer advanced driver-assistance systems, providing customers with a more convenient and potentially safer driving experience on highways. The addition of this feature positions Lucid as a competitor to Tesla's Autopilot and GM's Super Cruise, further demonstrating the company's commitment to technological innovation and offering a compelling alternative in the increasingly crowded EV market.
