Lucid Self Driving (LSD) is awesome! I just spent the last hour cruising up and down the highway totally hands free with zero interventions or safety concerns. After receiving v3.6, you have to drive for a few minutes for the cameras to calibrate and then you are all set! There are two options for automatic lane changes, conservative and assertive. I find assertive to be a better fit for my driving style. Lane changes were smooth, quick and confident and unlike FSD, as soon as a safe distance is established, the car moves out of the passing lane.
I was able to check my phone safely a few times without it immediately fussing at me. In fact, it is quite liberal with “nag”. I had to be looking away for a significant amount of time before it would ask me to pay attention.
I hope Lucid keeps it up with these advancements- I am extremely impressed with today’s update. This makes Rivian’s self driving seem like a joke and Rivian has the audacity to charge a monthly fee for their basic lane keeping. I can tell the “brain” of the Lucid is much more competent by the decisions it makes.
LSD FTW!
