I know right? But they are specifically referencing the blind spot cameras in the video when he says that they are all upgraded and super high resolution compared to Air. I’m totally confused by this statement. And he was the chief engineer for Gravity!
It’s possible it’s USB speed dependent or not fully enabled. Beta and all.
It’s funny how much stuff they get wrong about customers. That touchpad on the steering wheel-immediately confuses the driver, doesn’t work well. Or the notion that after you adjust your seat you’d always want to adjust the steering wheel. It makes sense to an engineer sure but a good UX designer would override some of these. Maybe that explains some of the confusing decisions Lucid makes, too heavy on engineering vs actual usability. Reminds me of that car Homer designed lol
Thats interesting, as part of my HQ tour last year, I got to try out the Gravity "buck" (the hardware they use to fine tune UX and usability) and I preferred the touchpads on the steering wheel to basically every car I have owned in the past, including the Air. I am sure this comes down to a matter of preference, but I was thoroughly happy with the integration.
I agree with you, I have no issues with the camera quality on my Air either. I wish they were in a place where I could see the blind spot camera feed better, currently, I have to duck down to look under the steering wheel. Oh, and the SW performance of the cameras triggering sometimes lags, but it is miles better than it was even 6 months ago.
The issue is not with the Air. Most sentiment is that Gravity’s blind spot cameras are LOW res, and worse than Airs. In fact some reviewers have made that a major criticism. But this chief engineer says they are better. So I’m wondering if maybe a software issue has limited the resolution.
Yeah the camera display quality in the Air was vastly superior to what we have now in the Gravity. The backup camera is unusable in the dark unless your foot is on the brake which then barely casts enough light. It must be a software issue where when they try to up the resolution in the display it breaks other things. So I REALLY hope these cameras can at least get to the same quality I already had in my Air GT.
This is exactly what I think as well. It seems there could be a fix in future update, as opposed to it being hardware limited, which wouldn't make sense in a new model vehicle.
I think contrast is a huge issue at night. The cameras are just too “dark”. If you could adjust contrast, it would be much better - even in lower res.
