KAUST IS ONLY going to give processing power to run AI or whatever processes they need to do
Maybe they can devleop a reliable lock/unlock system. Having done that, they can move on to Android Auto.
Slate is a very, very different market and product. What works for Slate wouldn’t work for Lucid, as it would never meet the standard of “luxury”.
You’re right, they’re probably all just drinking coffee and eating donuts all day.
Hah! But the Slate concept of specified interfaces for add-ons is a good idea that could apply to a luxury car. They would just be luxury add-ons.Slate is a very, very different market and product. What works for Slate wouldn’t work for Lucid, as it would never meet the standard of “luxury”.
That said, I really do hope AA comes soon because I would really like to stop hearing about it.

I had a mental picture of this… hilarious. Although, knowing the Lucid team IRL I know this not to be the case. Serious dedication from the whole team… just look at 2.6.16, it’s small but I’m impressed they did all that while working on Gravity software. ADAS improvements are killing it on my test drive today.
I think it was merged. I didn’t write the Rawlinson title. Just noticed this.
I disagree, the software we see is the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Battery management, motor control, air conditioning, flux capacitor… the list of no forward UX software is immense.
Once again, let’s all embark on our annual walk from SF to LA.
Sorta know my way around the joint (as a CTO with 30 years in software), but thanks for the advice.
Wasn’t meant as an insult. There is a lot going on under the hood that also requires a ton of software engineering; for example, the 1000Hz traction control system, which is the first of its kind, has dedicated software engineers who worked on it. That’s not something that would be seen in an OTA release note, or visible to the user, but is immensely impactful.
This:
Dollars to donuts Bosch handles that 1000Hz traction control (or it has nothing to do with the main software team.) My only point being the main software team that handles in vehicle UI systems needs to show something one of these days. The hardware team is engineering laps around them on a regular basis (as seen in the Gravity voltage stepping to 800V charging using the rear motor at a constant 250kW in Tesla superchargers) from what I see, and others are noticing. Maybe the embedded systems folks are awesome, but the guys and gals on the front end user software need to step up big-time, and do "something", IMO. Anything, really would be nice. I'm new here so let me know what I missed in the last 6 months.
I can speak with absolute 100% certainty Bosch does not. Bosch built the TCS that is in my DE and in the Airs released before Sapphire. The 1000Hz one is entirely in-house, and developed by Lucid for the Sapphire and then brought to the Pure. It is my understanding it may eventually be back-ported to the older vehicles but they are doing tons of testing before that ever happens, if it ever does.
You got here right around when they were very busy with Gravity. Give it a bit of time for things to get settled. OTA updates prior to the last few months were much more frequent.
News flash, I know it may be hard to absorb but literally (nearly) no one cares these days what is under that iceberg. I know it's hard stuff but it is table-steaks. It is just expected that HVAC, traction control, ABS, charging, motors, steering, etc. "just work" so no credit there. They want their doors to unlock, and they want to control their music and see their navigation *at-the-same-time* (gaaasp)
